Moog The Moog Guitar, Aqua Quilt Top

The Moog Guitar, Aqua Quilt Top description:

The Moog Guitar Paul Vo Limited Edition Electric Guitar puts revolutionary new technology in the hands of the guitarist.

The Moog Paul Vo Guitar will change the way you play. Its AAAAA maple top and ebony fingerboard bespeak the quality that musicians have come to expect from a Moog instrument. The addition of Moog Guitar Electronics opens guitarists to a whole new musical vocabulary: not a guitar synthesizer, not a MIDI guitar or an effects processor; players are intimately connected to The Moog Guitar because it works its magic on the strings themselves.

The Moog Guitar Electronics add an unparalleled range of expression to 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 and clarity The Moog Guitar can sustain full six-note chords easily.

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, actually physically stopping the strings' vibration. You feel the instrument transform in your hands.

When in any mode (Full Sustain, Controlled Sustain, or Mute) you do not have to sacrifice one of the pick-ups for the functionality of the innovations. This means there's always sound coming from both pick-ups. The ability to pan mute and sustain control between pick-ups (with the included foot pedal) is the source of Harmonic Blending.

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.

All Moog Paul Vo Guitars are individually signed by Paul Vo and a Certificate of Authenticity verifying the Paul Vo Collector Edition as the first "Moog Guitar" is included.
