I've been fascinated by this guitar since the first time I saw a video of Bellamy use his custom version. Tele style body. BareKnuckle Naibiomb in the bridge, Fernandes sustainer in the neck position and a Korg KAOSS pad behind the bridge. The KAOSS pad sends MIDI control messages to your software to control...whatever. Too bad it's like $4k. There was a thread a couple of days ago about expensive vs inexpensive guitars...here's an expensive guitar I'd buy if I could. Basically what you're paying for here is a really pro mod (I've seen some ugly DIY attempts at this) in a really nice guitar.

The vide demos show it controlling software amps and effects. But it might be able to control anything else by MIDI. I know my Peavey Transformer pedals just send MIDI data to the amp to control it. There are likely other better amps that do the same.
