The buzz at Summer NAMM '08 in Nashville was all about the Moog, even before the official press conference took place. The video below recaps the press conference and shows plenty of demo footage.

The guitar itself has to be heard but here's our attempt at a brief description: the guitar utilizes pickups that can push or pull the energy from the strings in a number of ways.
