Hoag Instruments Introduces The TRAD 60 Electric Guitar

(Click for a close-up)

Traditional barriers are not broken, just bent a little. The TRAD 60 has kept that "old guitar feeling" in tact, but incorporated Hoag optical pickups that react at the speed of light. This faster response offers cleaner sound and will respond to your slightest touch.

Because there are no magnetic fields and mechanical devices slowing down the string movement, the sustain and harmonics are enhanced. Strings of any type can be intermixed: steel, bronze, nylon, etc. Each type of string has its own overtone component and will be reproduced by the optical pickup.

The frequency response is from few hertz to well over 100khz.
