It is a G.A.S button that will transform my guitar into whatever model I am currently gassing for! The only problem I see is that it will put BP out of business... wait... you can sell "expansion" packs so I can then continue to "invest" in upgrades... just make it run on Mac, cause I can't deal with a PC.

I'm a little skeptical, could you send one to me for evaluation please. Also, I want it.

Although, BP said at the 25th tour that he spent a lot of money on the Bongo development only to learn that wood is still best.

I would guess:

1. Ebony boards as a option
2. Chambering options
3. New compensated nut/intonation

Of course, SS frets would be great too.

to be a game changer would imply it has to be somewhat radical..

so if the 25th wasnt a game change i wonder what would be required.. heheh

ps: good luck guessing to all of us!

do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

I'd have a wild guess.....

socket fitted plug-in pickups capability that means the possibility to swap between single coils / humbuckers or P90's just by removing the pickguard ? ? ?

Some kind of automatic tensioning system for tremolos. No more spring adjustments!

I'm wondering if the chambering in the 25th will be available in other models.

That would be cool. But Poppa said it would be "mind blowing". So you would assume the announcement is going to be HUGE news. It's definately going to be big for EBMM. But could this announcement be industry changing?

If that is the case, I'll take one of everything in Maple/Maple neck format.
