My former student Mark alerted me to the Chameleon Guitar, a new acoustic-electric hybrid that uses computer processing to make realistic acoustic tone. I was impressed with their audio files, and then astounded to watch a video and realize that they have the body size of a typical Strat.

I don’t believe this can sound as good as the real thing.

Thanks for this post. Innovations in music are indeed good and exciting. Chameleon guitar is an electric instrument with a swappable soundboard. Changing the soundboard to one of a different wood or structure dramatically changes the tone of the instrument. The sound can be further tweaked to simulate various soundboard shapes. though we can be skeptical about it, it won’t hurt much if we give it a try. After all, we look forward to an improved and technologically advanced musical instrument - the high-tech guitar. Cheers!

The concept of the Chameleon Guitar is an interesting one, I too was skeptical just as Mike Grace.
I didn’t believe it sound as good as the real thing but the videos I have watched make it sound fine.
Interesting Post, Thankyou.
