In my defense, I did mention a few times that this was meant for all kinds of ideas, key word, "ideas."
I don't expect any of these to actually be manufactured. I just thought it would be cool to have a place where you can safely post all these crazy ideas.
Apparently I was wrong.

Don't feel bad. It's the internet. People commonly disagree on all kinds of things.

Now how about a battery test button on active electronics?

How about a holographic device like on Star Trek: The Next Generation so that I could make my guitars any color or finish I want at a given time?

How cool would that be? I could have all the sparkle colors on one guitar. I'd never have to just pick one finish. Gunsmoke? No problem! Mystic Dream? No problem! Sterling Silver? Not an issue. Pacific Blue Burst? Sure! Gold Sparkle with gold mirror PG? Yup! Black? Absolutely! :D

Self adjusting truss rod - factory perfect set up every time.
Vigier guitars have a system that doesn't need a truss rod:
"This exclusive advanced concept of 10% carbon and 90% wood replaces the traditional metal truss rod with a dense carbon strip to reinforce the neck. Employed for 18 years on all Vigier guitars and basses, this concept makes the neck strong and stable during climate change. We never believed it was logical to drill a hole through a neck and then insert a rod of metal inside. Because wood necks vibrate, they can absorb the energy of the string and shorten sustain. The 10/90 neck is solid, notes ring longer and your sound is precise and powerful."

Though,I think that vigier guitars are ugly,and that would be a cool feature to have in a guitar.

Can I have multiple airbags so that if I drop the guitar it won't get damaged? How about twin turbochargers so that I can play faster?

How about a guitar that detects the redheads in the audience and subliminally tells them that my playing doesn't suck.

My brother was always obsessed with the idea of an ALL GLASS guitar. Must have an interesting resonance to it...maybe if you add some water to it the tonal characteristics will change like the pitches change in glass of water, hahaha.

Pete, that really happened at the LTE show? I think the machine gun idea is by far the best. I think I saw the guy who did that. Some long haired freak like assclown that was not even looking at the show?

There is a company that makes glass guitars: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oPRZ8At2SU"]YouTube - Tank Stillton playing glass guitar. (I'm bad but it plays)[/ame]

Yeah, but no long hair. We were sitting at the table watching the guy swaying back and forth when the nasty happened. Twice. At least he managed to keep his beer glass in his hand and take a few swigs after spitting up THAT = metal! /M\

ooo how about 75lb wet shot (nitrous button) for that extra boost to shred past whoever is up on ya? Of course, that's for when you live your life ten seconds at a time.

How about a self cleaning guitar case?
when you put it in the case, it is gently sprayed by cleaning products so when you take it out, its like new!

Or how about a dual bridge guitar.
So if you want a hardtail you just physically flip the bridge part of the guitar like on a revolving door.

Feelings hurt? No, but after being a loyal customer and supporter of a previous guitar company, and having wasted a lot of time with them, I was really hoping to see different at this forum.
And a kid I am not.
Anyhow, I am glad to see that this community actually participates in suggestions and ideas no matter how far out of reality they seem to be. I'm very glad that I started this, after all, its just for fun.

Just messing with ya, don't take it to heart. But someone said you were a kid and I didn't think you were. Stick around you'll enjoy this place better than any other guitar forum out there and welcome.
