The Moog Guitar - Paul Vo Collector Edition solidbody electric guitar takes the guitar/strings/pickups concept and applies the unique vision only Moog could conjure, resulting in a truly exciting, innovative axe! The Moog Guitar - Paul Vo Collector Edition includes magnetic and piezo pickups, as well as the stunning integrated Moog Guitar Electronics system, which allows you to conjure amazing sonic texures via sustain and mute modes, as well as a built-in resonant Moog ladder filter. An included foot pedal gives you incredible tone-shaping capabilities while you play the Moog Guitar - Paul Vo Collector Edition!

Paul Vo Collector Edition

Great tone and built-in sustain function
The Moog Guitar is no one-trick pony. It's designed to be played by the best musicians as their primary axe. Though it's great for many styles and tones, this instrument's onboard Moog Guitar Electronics sustem opens up a whole new musical vocabulary for you, with infinite, powerful sustain at every fret position. You can also select a controlled sustain mode, which allows you to play single lines without muting technique; it sustains the notes you are playing while actively muting the notes you are not playing.

Mute Mode
The Mute Mode has never been heard on any guitar; the Moog Guitar's Vo Power stops the strings with the same intensity that it sustains them. Take the combination of sustain and mute and add the ability to blend that power between the neck and bridge pick-ups, suddenly you can pull both subtle and dramatic harmonics from the strings.

Built-in filter for even more fun
As if the sustain and muting technology onboard the Moog Guitar weren't enough, here's more: you can control either resonance or the frequency of the built-in Moog ladder filter using the included foot pedal. The Moog Guitar takes your playing to an entirely new level!

Paul Vo Collector Edition
This limited run of Collector Edition Moog Guitars (only 330 available in the U.S.) bears the namesake of the guitar's inventor, Paul Vo. Though it's a great-looking guitar (check out the gorgeous AAAAA maple top and classy component selection) that plays beautifully, the Moog Guitar is purpose-designed to let you take full advantage of its Moog Guitar Electronics features to create incredible sonic textures as well as impressive classic tones!

I looks like fun, but it is a ton of money...as a standard "guitar" I'm not very interested in it but if I wa active in an original band again I think it would be a great tool....it this any different than the one that everybody was posting video of last year?

I know it sounds fantastic since I saw a video of Keaggy playing it at the last Nashville NAMM show - but there is way too much going on for me. I like guitars simple - that is far from simple. If it wasn't for the price I'm sure they would sell a pile of those despite the looks...

they had 330 made by Zion guitars. hopefully that's how many they need to sell to make good on their investment and then they can introduce a lower priced, less gaudy model.
