Looks dorky, but interesting idea, tho nothing beats a wall of Marshalls cranked to 11 though.]]>Sep 26th 2008 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 26th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 26th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/
Any rumors regarding when the Sprint Android phone will be released? Is Wimax to much to ask?

The first sustain pickup was the Sustainiac:

It's been around for at least 25 years.]]>Sep 26th 2008 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Eric Cartman would have a great time with Woody here.

Back to the guitar, it sounds interesting. But, I don't see a lot of value for my $$$ here. And what is that red sitting right next to the amp? Is that a Pod? ]]>Sep 26th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://line6.com/pocketpod/]]>Sep 26th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/
To quote the Prince of Pot (loosely) "After smoking marijuana, the smoker's explanations become more expansive and longer" so pretty much, it's just the weed.

Seems to do about the same thing. I saw a guitar with this system in it for $300 at a local music shop once.]]>Sep 26th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/
Leave this work to the amps...You don't need a dumble (after all, carlos created the early tones w/ Boogies). Give yourself some overwound, hot pickups, play with a live amp, crank the mids, and you'll have yourself the 'internal combustion guitar'. ]]>Sep 26th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fe/FLCL_image.jpg/230px-FLCL_image.jpg]]>Sep 26th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/]]>Sep 26th 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/
But $2,450? No way. It has to be a good guitar first before you can even think about charging a premium like that. Just looking at it, I see an ugly finish, a thin body with an uncomfortable looking bulge on the back that you don't see here, and tons of weird hardware and electronics that are going to color the clean sound.

I also love how the web site described the "industrial paint" used for the finish as the "ultimate in retro" - yeah, right! The earliest electric guitars all used nitro-based paint and clearcoats - it was completely glossy. There's nothing wrong with doing something different, but don't call it retro! And I personally think it's just ugly.

Give that thing to Tom Morello to vid-demo and you might sell a few; otherwise it'll go the same way as the Moog guitar, meaning only Lou Reed will own one, and by Lou Reed owning a guitar I mean putting the ChickenF****r from South Park in charge of Mental Health Day at public schools.]]>Sep 26th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 26th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/that is if you have the time & inclination]]>Sep 26th 2008 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 26th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 27th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 27th 2008 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/there is the sustainer/sustainiac that does the same silently, and guitar with built in speakers/amps are around for 20 years or so]]>Sep 27th 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 28th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/internal-combustion-guitar-gnarly-guitar-tone-at-a-polite-volu/Sep 30th 2008 11:06PM
