Here's some wild random guesses:

1. A six inch long pickup that has 6 coils, but has 2 notched sliders so that you can use any possible combination of coils.

2. A "virtual" pickup that allows every guitar to be fitted with the same pickup, but you can change the output hotness on-the-fly. Each pickup has a knob to go through the different possible choices.

3. A self-adjusting bridge that is motorized and lets you adjust the action height and intonation very easily.

4. A new truss rod design that delivers better rigidity while giving the option of choosing a string guage and it will auto set itself to the right tension for that particular string guage.

How about a guitar that automatically calls CS if there's any slight problem, so you don't need to post on the forum?

hmm.. i bought a sony tv today.. it has a built in network interface. if it can exist in tv's i dont see why it couldnt on a guitar?

it would be interesting with a self diagnostic guitar much like whats in cars these days.. just plug it into the network and let the engineer work on it remotely

hmm.. intriguing.. :evilsmirk

less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

It's a device that automatically converts the time you spend on the forum into virtual guitar practice, so the more time online = better playing

If so, I'm going to see a dramatic improvement...

I think all Musicman guitars will be fitted with a tachograph/ometer or whatever they are called a la Mr Horsepower. You can then upload data about how hard you rocked at your last gig onto the forum- and people with nothing better to do can compare data
