Unfortunately it needs a safety cage around the bottom end. That'd probably spoiling the visuals - though clear acrylic might work. The tuning was the the other huge issue, he didn't actually say how long it took to get in tune tune, nor how long it held tune. cool though

That is the scariest guitar I’ve ever seen.

And that's the closest I've seen someone come to serious injury due to incompetence in a while

Ok that’s fucking awesome! I can already see a black version with sound reactive LEDs that would look sick with a fog machine! 🤘 Thanks for sharing!

Okay but this guy's piano tech is even cooler 🤣 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yFIxf2gTg_k

Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

One step closer to a solar powered laser beam guitar.

Its a video so tough to quickly scan so I didn't watch it. To keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling towards each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

Does it scale to other instruments? Violin? Piano? Ukulele? LOL.

There's no way those magnets generate enough tension.

This guy looked at a Floyd rose and said.... Amateur. Hold my beer.

Fun and dangerous experiment but of course not feasible in the long run.

i think the incompetence comes into play from knowing the risk but proceeding for the memes. and like. look. respect to doing luthery as a form of stunt work. but all amateur stuntwork is ultimately a form of incompetence. it's cool, and respectworthy. but it's also not… the competent thing to do to see a magnet break a slat, realize it can break your finger, and then press on to do it.
