New Complexity (part 1): the Harmonic Master


I often have the feeling that Australia is where things happen nowadays when it comes to our favorite subject: guitars! Several of my favorite websites / blogs / Facebook pages emanate from Oz, and they show passionate innovative people busy with improving guitars, when other countries that once ruled are just stuck in a bygone golden age…

Take New Complexity, a one man company in Melbourne, and its Harmonic Master, a 12-string 'third bridge' guitar with a pickup behind the bridge that catches harmonic resonnance, a fully adjustable 12-saddle gizmo as a stop-tail to tune it and 3 different outputs. This is not a guitar with mere cosmetic modifications or sophisticated gear, it's a rethinking of the instrument! 

If you wonder what it's all about, this video explains and demonstrates what the Harmonic Master does. Definitely an instrument I'd love to try!

  4. Very cool idea. I must admit I find the tone a bit harsh and metallic though.
