MIT guitar combines acoustics and electronics

A prototype guitar built by US student Amit Zoran combines the natural acoustics of wood with the power of electronic processing

Acoustic instruments with their wood-grain patterns produce unique sounds, but a prototype guitar (built by Massachusetts Institute of Technology student Amit Zoran, pictured here) combines the natural acoustics of wood with the power of electronic processing. Called the Chameleon Guitar, it can mimic different instruments using an on-board computer and replaceable wood soundboards.
