How to Build a USB Guitar

While busy working, I sow this and thought of you :D

The first question is why you'd want a USB port in an electric guitar, and the answer is simple: convenience. By putting a small USB codec in a guitar, you're putting an extra sound board in there. So when you record, your guitar is digitized locally and the signal transmitted to your computer over a USB cable. You plug your headphones into the guitar, so you have more mobility and fewer cords to get tangled. The guitar still has all its standard analog capabilities, but USB output as well.

If you are going that route, why bother with a cable? Just go Blue Tooth.

I'll be honest, I did not read it through, but to be able to record through blue tooth, would be cool. :D

It is interesting. And the bluetooth idea is :baaa:
The same as you can set homes to audio record in any room It can be set to record guitar in any room. Cool, huh?

There's a USB-ready input jack at Best Buy for $40 bucks that does this, but this guy goes to the extreme in drilling out the body for all that..

Not that his work isn't clean!
