The Gibson Dark Fire Guitar

Besides being an I.T. guy I'm also a musician. I started playing guitar when I was 13, which happens to be the same age I was when I got my first computer, the Apple ][+. As I was growing up I played in a band, but I also became interested in audio engineering . I was the singer in a band for a brief period of time and after I was no longer the singer, I became their sound guy. I soon realized that trying to make a living as a musician was a long shot. They don't call us starving musicians for nothing. So I got a little 4 track recorder by Fostex and started recording myself and the band I was working with. After recording the band all night I had the realization that, I really liked doing that. So I decided that I would become an audio engineer. Then I enrolled at Sound Masters Recording Engineering School and got my degree in audio engineering. After that, I worked at several studios and clubs. I worked in many aspects of the recording industry, for several years, before I got burned out on the whole music bussiness and living in Los Angeles.

So while this is mainly a tech blog, I'm still playing and recording my own music. And here is where the two meet. The Gibson Dark Fire Guitar. You may have herd of, or seen, the Gibson Robot guitars. This is considered the Robot 2 guitar. It's the most advanced technological guitar to date. If you want to see what this new guitar is capable of, check out this video. I think it's a pretty amazing guitar, unlike anything I have seen before.
