The interwebs are all abuzz – and rightfully so – about Moog’s latest instrument.

Now that we have your attention, keep reading and prepare to have your mind properly blown.
Regardless of whether you play keyboard, computers, decks or violin, this guitar will have you giving serious thought to taking up a second instrument.
Below are the some of the revolutionary new features of the Moog Guitar
Full Sustain Mode – Like no other sustainer; infinite sustain on every string, at every fret position and at any volume. You may have heard sustain before but not with this power (we call it “Vo Power") and clarity.
Controlled Sustain Mode – Allows you to play sustained single or polyphonic lines without muting technique. The Moog Guitar sustains the notes you are playing while actively muting the strings you are not playing.
Mute Mode – Removes energy from the strings, resulting in a variety of staccato articulations. The mute mode has never been heard on any other guitar; the Vo Power stops the strings with the same intensity that it sustains them. You feel the instrument transform in your hands.
Harmonic Blends – Use the included foot pedal to shift the positive energy of Vo Power in Sustain mode and the subtractive force of Vo Power in Mute mode between the bridge and neck pick-ups to pull both subtle and dramatic harmonics from the strings.
Moog Filter – Control the frequency of the built-in, resonant Moog ladder filter using the foot pedal or a CV Input.
So if you’ve got a spare $6500 US lying around and want to be the first kid on your block to revolutionize the art of the guitar, then click here.
