Thanks Bruce! Merry Christmas to you as well

Thanks Brooke!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback

Yes of course, and many other people have introduced carbon fiber to stringed instruments. What Parker did was somewhat extreme in my opinion and required a whole new manufacturing method. My idea is to retain the look and feel and format of a traditional wood guitar, but just add the carbon inside in a special way to make it more stable and light.

I also like to leave lots of room for picking which is why I'm using two narrow rail pickups. I'm not yet in the business of making guitars, this is just the first one built for testing and just trying to see if there is any interest out there. If there is interest I might find a factory to partner with and build it.

Thanks for your interest, I'm not divulging any details of the electronics right now, just in case there might be an opportunity to market this. No plans yet, I'm just having fun. But I'm a career electronics engineer, even worked for Apple, and the chips available today are amazing. Turns out it doesn't take many electrons to process guitar tones.

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for recognizing the idea of invisible electronics. It remains to be seen if this is something that guitar players will want or not. But that's why I started with this video- try to find the level of interest and whether this is something that could be brought to market.

Thanks I appreciate it. Lots of thought went into this

Thanks!

Sounds like you don’t play electric guitar

@@kenbauer7776 Actually I have been playing for over 45 yrs and really like the old vintage guitars. I have many of them. Play in 2 quartets and don't understand the need for new guitars when the old ones are more than adequate. There are too many brands as it is. In my early days we didn't have all these options and I believe we don't need anymore today! Sorry if I offended you. Dang! Chill!

@@ronaldgoebel2174 sounds like you need some Xanax. If anyone should chill it’s you. Guitar players have it WAY better now than they did when you started. Many options at affordable prices. Maybe you think we should still ride horses, what do we need new cars for?

@@ronaldgoebel2174 I walked barefoot in the snow, but I don't have to anymore. While I sympathize with your preference for a simpler approach (purism), this guitar demonstrates some new technology that seems to be as innovative as the array of signal-processing technologies that appeared in the 60s--fuzz-tone, echoplex, etc. But if you prefer an acoustic guitar or a Gibson hollow-body going into a single-channel amplifier with no effects, then I guess this isn't for you.

@@ronaldgoebel2174 No problem, thanks for sharing. Vintage guitars are great, I don't want to take anything away from them. People will enjoy the old standard guitars forever. I just thought it would be fun to see what can be done with today's tech. Carbon has been used in necks here and there but I believe I've done it in a new way while still retaining most of the look and feel of the wood neck. I believe some people might be happy with a neck that never moves.

Thanks!!

Good luck, glad this was helpful!

Thanks Darryl! I'm really happy that you enjoy this. See on the flying field soon.

Thanks Bruce! And a great version of Rocket Man I’ve never heard.

Thanks Steve, and a little momentum here might even help Gray!

@@kenbauer7776 Amen to that!!

Thanks much, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Luke, nice to know the song is getting some listens

Keyboard is a Yamaha CP105 piano

Yes, I used to work for apple and my daughter made the famous video

@@kenbauer7776 Ah, I see interesting

Thanks Kyle, maybe we'll do this one in a band someday!

Thanks Carrie, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks Steve! My fascination with guitars continues and I'd love to do some 3 part leads with the band but I've still got a long way to go to get to the same comfort level as keyboards.

Thanks Jim! Hope you are doing well.
