That is the scariest guitar I’ve ever seen.

And that's the closest I've seen someone come to serious injury due to incompetence in a while

Okay but this guy's piano tech is even cooler 🤣

One step closer to a solar powered laser beam guitar.

Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

Ok that’s fucking awesome! I can already see a black version with sound reactive LEDs that would look sick with a fog machine! 🤘

Thanks for sharing!

Does it scale to other instruments? Violin? Piano? Ukulele? LOL.

Its a video so tough to quickly scan so I didn't watch it. To keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling towards each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

Unfortunately it needs a safety cage around the bottom end. That'd probably spoiling the visuals - though clear acrylic might work.

The tuning was the the other huge issue, he didn't actually say how long it took to get in tune tune, nor how long it held tune.

cool though

This guy looked at a Floyd rose and said.... Amateur. Hold my beer.

There's no way those magnets generate enough tension.

Fun and dangerous experiment but of course not feasible in the long run.
