Rich Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Not a bass yet, but surely that's next? "Are you ready for the future? Say hello to the WORLD’S FIRST AI GUITAR!🤖 Drawing influence from movies like Terminator and I, Robot, the master luthiers at Ibanez’s Fuji-Jen workshop threw the rulebook out and set their proprietary AI software one task… Build the ultimate rock machine. By inputting the most advanced features available today, they have created something that in 20 years of selling guitars, we could never have comprehended - The IBANEZ RGAI0104. The results are breathtaking. Featuring brand new Photon pickups, a body made from Walnut and Carbon Fibre (with a powder-coated semi-metallic finish from the automotive industry), along with a detachable ‘Cybernetic’ neck that sports a 25.8” scale length (extra tension) and a conical radius fingerboard. Our minds are blown, frankly.🤯" https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02GeLLQEFsR5jGCUW7BzUhVZJvid5tJ8EwwSYPmxHtwyXFZCPNTd63NbRUARSrxF6Tl&id=100044494866962 2 2 1 Quote

itsmedunc Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Those pointy bits are going to be the cause of many a popped scrotum. Let’s hope Ibanez ship with cricket boxes as standard. 😂 2 Quote

Velarian Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Looks like it’s based on what the 1980s thought the future would be like. 😧 2 Quote
chris_b Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 All AI really has to do is come up with another Strat and Precision. Job done. Quote

BigRedX Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 The image probably has been AI generated, but that's all it is an image, nothing more. There's a whole site dedicated to AI generated synthesisers, which is interesting, but AI hasn't yet realised that the black and white keys on a "piano" style keyboard have to follow to particular pattern (unless you just want to make atonal "musique concrète"). In the same way you get "interesting frets" in the guitar image. It's a pity that on the whole the guitar image is rather too conventional. Quote

Earbrass Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Phht. Just a copy of the Fender Bat'leth. Their Custom Shop version has the "combatworn" option with fake bloodstains. 2 Quote

There are, however, other keyboard layouts that work very well for all musical genres; especially useful when transposing 'on the fly'... Quote
