As I mentioned before, it appears to be quite an innovative leap for the guitar and I look forward to hearing the impressions of you and others on the list as you get become acquainted with the Moog Guitar. -- Kevin Quoting Luca Formentini <luca@unguitar.com>: > Hi Kevin, > this is probably going to be the only reason to make me consider > another guitar... > very interesting info, thank you very much for it. > > I just don't see any chance to know/see/hear something more than the > bouncing, few informations unofficially hitting the net. > Any chance to see an official move by moog ? > > my best, > luca > > www.unguitar.com > > kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com wrote: > >> Hello to all! >> >> I just returned from the Ethermusic Festival, sponsered by Moog >> Music, in Asheville, NC. >> >> Prior to my set on Thursday night, Jason Danillo from Moog Music >> expertly demo'd a new product from Moog Music that is simply >> called: "The Moog Guitar". >> >> I am not a guitarist myself however I was very impressed with what >> I learned and heard about this product.
