Attention Guitarists: Check Out the Kitar Modular Axe
From Gizmag:
Noah Watenmaker and Thao Pham from We Anything Build (WAB) are putting the finishing touches to a new stringed instrument that will allow a player to change neck or body configurations whenever the mood, or the song, dictates.
Where the bizarre-looking Ministar from Bob Wiley dispensed with the body altogether, the kitar’s through-neck will slot into a body section housing effects and controls. This gives the player the potential to change from lead to bass on the fly, or from one shape to another, or select different tones and onboard effects.
WAB has so far designed two body shapes and a number of necks of different scale lengths and string counts, but is also allowing home builders to let their creative juices flow by making build plans available as open source.
