American company “Ovation” released the first and only electro-acoustic guitar with built-in MP3-player. And a developer claims that in future absolutely any guitar can be equipped with such technology.
The instrument is called Ovation iDea, and the word "idea" here means that no idea of musician will be in vain - the built-in microphone will record all sound (up to 100 minutes per session), even the vocals and comments.
Creators consider Ovation iDea to be the best instrument for beginners, because several audio lessons have already been written to the memory of the guitar, and even more lessons can be downloaded from the website of a project partner - WorkshopLive. Files from your computer or the Internet can be easily loaded into the "idea" and back through the USB-port. Of course, you can download entire songs with drums and other instruments in the guitar and play with the whole ensemble after that.
This guitar is already available on the market for $ 600.
