Hasta La Gadget!

Some of us just have this natural tendency to jam with the rest of like minded folks in a band, while others do not have the luxury of doing so. On the other hand, there is also another group of folks who would love nothing better than to drink in all of the limelight, being a real soloist. However, to reach such dizzy heights, you would first need to have the kind of mad skills that would put even the likes of Slash to shame, and what better way than to get plenty of practice in before you actually show your talent off to the rest of the waiting world? You might as well do so with air guitar riffs, but it is time to throw down the gauntlet and settle for something more mature – like the £29.99 Electronic Guitar Shirt.

Granted, most of the best guitarists in the world happen to be slim, perhaps because they exude so much energy on the stage, that they burn all the calories and then some (such as post-concert nookies and such). Still, we would like to ensure that the Electronic Guitar Shirt is all inclusive, hence it would come in large, medium and small sizes for folks from all walks of life to be able to have an equal chance at making it big in the music scene after they have gotten sufficient practice on the Electronic Guitar Shirt.

You can now be a guitar god at any time of the day, regardless of where you are, where your greatest asset (apart from your mad guitar skills, of course) would be the Electronic Guitar Shirt that you are wearing. Don’t be like all of the other rock stars who think nothing of ripping their shirt apart – if you do so, you can kiss your budding busking career goodbye. After all, it is cheaper than purchasing a real guitar, and right now when you are just starting off, you need all the help you can get, including cheap musical instruments.

Sporting a fully playable integrated guitar, it has literally no strings attached. Heck, the manufacturer even threw in a mini amp with tone and volume knobs, and that will slip into a pocket in the hem. All you need to do to impress the crowd would be the strum away using the included magnetic pick, and watch the money come flowing in. Whatever the case is, the Electronic Guitar Shirt does need washing after soaking up all of your sweat during your performances, just remember to remove the batteries before you hand wash it, and never ever iron over the plastic area. Oh yeah, carrying a quartet of spare AAA batteries would be a good idea, too.

If there is one thing special about the folks over at Hammacher, it would be the way they describe some of the bevy of devices that they have in their warehouses. Hammacher tends to make use of superlative adjectives, and for today, we have one which is accompanied by a whopper of a price tag. I am referring to the $28,000 World’s Only Counterbalanced Turntable, yes sir, we are looking at 28 grand of goodness here just to play back your music in a traditional manner as you appreciate the vinyl records of yore (and new ones, too).

Touted to be the only fully suspended turntable in the world which relies on the wonders of dual counter-rotating platters so that it eliminates the troublesome sonic aberrations that are generated by common consumer models, this particular model has also picked up the gong for the Best Sound High Fidelity award from the renowned Munich High End, which is the largest high-end audio show in the world.

During playback, a vinyl record will rest atop the top-most, clockwise-spinning platter, while the bottom will rotate counter-clockwise in order to cancel torsional forces which would otherwise result in fluctuations in rotational speed and distort music. An inverted twin-bearing design of the platter assembly will further reduce torque-induced drag, whilst double hydraulic insulation offers additional dampening. Time to break open your collection of vinyls, not to mention your bank account!
