So moog is about to unveil the Moog Guitar.

From a blog post that is getting the rounds:

The guitar utilizes built-in ebows - I'm not sure how many are built into the guitar however there is a least one per string. As many readers here know, the ebow imparts energy to a string to set it into vibration and keep it vibrating forever. The engineers at Moog took things to another level -- for ebow technology can do the opposite: it can be used to remove energy from a string, too. Each string is independently settable - some can sustain, others can sound in the normal (unsustained manner), others can produce a staccatto pluck in fact, one of the sounds is a strum followed by a bow.

Allow me to speculate....

Could Moog have built a guitar that allows control over amplitude, resonance, envelope of each string independently.

How far from a normal synth would this be? The obvious question is whether they waveshape the strings to produce sawtooth, square or pulse waves. Regardless, it seems that a lot of synth tones could easily be produced. LFO's would be a snap (even square & pulse). ASDR envelops would also be a snap. Long attacks with long releases or really short releases without physically muting the strings.

And let's not forget that the oscillators are guitar strings, so we aren't talking a cheap-sounding Rompler here. Can't wait to see if this is anything like I imagine.

One more piece of speculation: MSRP $2999.99

Can't wait!
