<p>Nothing new under the sun, Right?</p>
<p>So, your on stage and you only have this new Modular guitar to change into different ones. Then a string breaks or they go flat, what are you going to do? Haha</p>

<p>That's a cool way of doing a quick change. You can use "bullet connectors" for quick change electronics.</p>

<p>I've seen those too and they make a good test bed guitar for trying different things. At least they use a wood neck and wood body.</p>
<p>I like to have options on my guitar, but there comes a point when there's just to many options that get in the way.</p>
<p>If you have to continually change things out, the connections will wear out.</p>

<p>Still much to do wiring, volume, tone and piezos and varnishing. Longest time was spent on how to keep the plywood squares in place. I was going to use magnets but then found these mini clips on eBay.</p>

<p>I was interested in building a box guitar in which I could try different pickups (a personal interest is trying to get as many tones as possible from one guitar)</p>
<p>As usual life tends to get in the way but so far</p>

<p>This design keeps the appearance of a normal guitar.</p>

<p>From the various sound clips I have listened to the widest tonal variation comes from the addition of a piezo. Much cheaper than any of the above :0)</p>

<p>I really admire the switch-ability engineering. If they would only work that out with wood, I'd be all over it.</p>

<p>Wow! I hadn't seen this. It looks like a pretty amazing design... espeically for that price. I'm not sure how much mojo they'll have ;-) but the design is certainly well thought out. That said, I'm not sure guitar players will love it as 90% of a guitar is about aesthetics and feel (to most players anyway). Still, I have to admire the engineering.</p>
