Comment I bet this will be a tough sell (Score 3, Insightful) 389
I agree that this looks like a super-neato piece of kit, but I would be willing to bet it will have trouble selling because:
1. It's one more thing that might break on stage.
2. Guitarist love tradition and tend to resist change. How long has the Les Paul been in production in its current form? Something like 60 years. The most revered amps are point-to-point wired vacuum tube models. Most people who are willing to drop this kind of coin on guitar gear would probably go for some aged custom model before they went for this.
I'm not saying it's not useful, just that I would be surprised by significant commercial success.
