Cutting edge gadgets honoured:

...the one honoured product that will have purists up in arms is a digital electric instrument by the venerable guitar maker Gibson.

It has developed what it says is the world's first digital guitar. On the outside it looks much like Gibson's legendary Les Paul Model.

The difference is that it uses digital technology called MaGIC, so that the sound from each string can be picked up individually.

"MaGIC will revolutionise the way media information is transmitted in content creation, post production and editing, and in the consumer home," said Gibson CEO Henry Juskiewicz. "It's the right technolgy at the right time."
