More colors. At least the 4 standard Reflex colors, but a nice cherry burst would be cool too.

As an aspiring tech/luthier, I heartily second this amazing advancement being made available to a much wider audience than simply EBMM players/fans. I actually also had a friend-of-a-friend approach me with the prospect of pickup switching with MIDI and this system would be perfect to use for it.

In order of importance and/or likelihood of ever happening? :D

  1. Five string GC bass, fretted & fretless.
  2. GC as an option for all of MM's bass & guitar product lines. (Yes I want a GC Bongo, SR, BigAl, Silhouette, you name it.)
  3. GC retrofit kit for all (multi pickup?) MM models.
  4. GC retrofit kit for all the electric string instruments in the world.

So I'm still learning about all the options this instrument has and Ill be honest, I'm not much of a gear head so it's still is a little confusing to me. I love the fact that the Reflex was chosen for this because its such a bitchen model. Call me old fashioned, but where is the pride in having 250,000 tones in a single guitar? I love guitars for their ability to have their own distinct and unique tones that come solely from the wood and other specs alike. Also, I have recently been experimenting with the new TC Electronic Tone Print pedals and again I am not impressed by "cheating" and downloading other players sounds. Am I alone or am I completely out of touch with this whole thing?

I couldn't agree more.. i think it's better to have a guitar with just one amazing sound from just one pickup, than to have 250000 sounds and trying to find just one regular sound. the same applies with amps.

That's the beauty of the Game Changer guys. Who are we (or any other guitar manufacturer for that matter) to determine what one or three or five sounds you get? If you want one sound the Game Changer will do it. If you want more, it can do that too. It's really as simple as you want to make it and it doesn't involve any sort of modeling. You essentially get to rewire the pickups of the guitar however you want and you don't need to be a genius to do it. You can also demo any of the sounds so that you know right away whether or not you like them.

I'm with AJ. It's better to have options than to not. Find what you like, stick with it, knowing you have the option of mixing things up any time you like.

OK I held back.....cheating...hehehehe Cheating is having some guy or gal at a company decide how you should sound.
We didnt add anything we just unlocked it. WOod is still a factor your hands are

the game changer is not for everybody....it intimidates the not so brave.....It will one day be my legacy. Now I just am happy to have a few that want control of their guitar or bass....its you instrument why not find out what has been kept from you?
Are you guys and gals saying that one or five sounds is what your guitar sounds like? Im so sorry that you dont understand what your guitar is capable of..... can you imagine having a v8 that was hard wired for a four cylinder and the guy who unlocks it is called a cheater?

how could it be cheating? i think thats a ridiculous statement ,
im really looking forward to seeing what the game changer can do, after watching all the videos and the new one with big poppa using it with bluetooth and an ipad, im really excited to see how far it can be taken.
if thats cheating then things like the fractal axe fx is cheating hahah and its not at all, its just an evolution of an instrument that i think should be embraced:)

Music man were amazing enough to send me a game changer and I've been playing around with it for 2 weeks now and I have to sa it is an amazing instrument and I can't get enough of it.
So many tones and such an easy system to figure out.
I love it and I've been asked to do some gamechanger clinics in Australia so I can't wait to show people what this bad boy can really do.
P.s it's also my first guitar with piezo oh my goodness !! Mixing it with a single coil tone is sensational.
Thnx again guys:)

People don't get the range of new tones available and what the Game Changer can actually unlock. A demo video really exploring the concept and the tones would be fabulous. I'd love to see a demo that actually focuses on some of the new combinations and instead of "here's a plain black guitar, here's some software, here's some sounds". Nobody is showing off what it actually can achieve sonically, or adding the piezo, or the midi functionalities. It's all being missed!

I've been playing guitar since 1959 and have always wanted the "perfect guitar". The Game Changer HSH Reflex with vibrato could be about as close to a perfect guitar as is possible. I have been waiting for this guitar for decades! :)
My only gripe is the basswood body. I like my guitars to have a nice solid wood, like maple, alder, ash, or mahogany. I have found over the years that all else being equal a heavy/solid wood will have better sustain.
