Hyper Touch Guitar

OK, I just had to post this one up.  This is a brand new concept, explained best by the designer, Massimo Battaglia:

"A new way of thinking electric guitar making it fully customizable and adaptable to musician needs.  No more strings, but a multi-touch screen that allows infinite possibilities of expression through the perfect instrument customization."

"Guitarist will be able to change as the number of strings, the number of frets, tuning, sound effects etc..  The guitar becomes a wireless command center in wich completely manage your music.  The design mantains the iconic shape of the standard electric guitar exalting and improving it.  Some controls (tone, volume and tremolo) are mantained for more rapid and intuitive use." - Battaglia
