createdigitalmusic.com — Brian Moore has taken their excellent iGuitar line of digitally-equipped guitars, and added class-compliant USB, via the new iGuitar.USB model. Plug it into a USB jack, and you have instant access to your sound in recording and effects software, no drivers required.

This is great! Nice tinny sounding crap from crap digital. No more just putting a mike in front of a tube amp and recording...no way, that's too simple!Why have a fat, thundering sound of humbuckers to tube when you can have a nice thin, weak sound of USB!

NO DIGG, so old.. Godin guitars have been making a USB one for years. I played one along with GarageBand a year ago at an Apple show and it is sweet. The latency is not perfect yet (because of the USB speed) but it's great to play a piano or trumpet part on a guitar. The Godin guitar is also only 450$ which is awesome..-- NOT the First ever USB guitar to ship.. c'mon. Great technology though.

I could be wrong, but I remember Gibson pioneered this idea a good while back. I think they were available for order almost/at least a year ago? Hot damn!

Get a Lin6 Variax and Workbench. Same exact thing.

Lame.The fact that "iGuitar" even exists is a step down in the art of playing an instrument.I can see its appeal to the home-studio guitar player but for my taste I think old school tubes and microphones recording to 24 tracks of 2" tape is where it's at. The sonic quality of something emulating a real set of hardware will never match the real thing.I should know I traded in my tube amp for a Line6 and I regretted it ever since.Long live real wood guitars, real amps, and real musicians!

few points:Don't knock it till you tried it. It IS the world's first USB audio Guitar. Patent is pendingGodin has NOT done a USB guitarYou can get a Brian Moore Floyd Rose guitar with the Usb output. i1f VS in stock!!Gibson is ethernet/ Cat 5. Ever see you in a store yet? Maybe you can order one but when will it ship. What software supports it?Using a Guitarport, Variax( still need interface box) or any guitar interface box( m-audio black box,etc)is not the same. You are committed to the sound you recorded. With the iGuitar USB you can apply plugins,amp sim etc. to the original guitar signal afterward.Fretlight does a usb guitar but I believe the usb is for system exclusive software transfer.Line level. Class compliant, bus powered<a class="user" href="http://media.jlsc.com/schedule/2005/viewer.php?file=newiguitar.mp4">http://media.jlsc.com/schedule/2005/viewer.php?file=newiguitar.mp4</a>

So, I guess according to your professional standards....Barry Rudolph is considered an amateur then? Wow, sure hope- The Corrs, Enrique Iglesias, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Robbie Nevil, Hall and Oates, Rod Stewart, Ray Charles, James Last, Jon Bon Jovi Paul Young, The Beach Boys (and countless others) were not all scammed by this "amateur" engineer .. pmsl
