Les Paul, meet ethernet cable

[Professor Riffs]

OH NO!!! TECHNOLOGY!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smopo24]

Yes I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever

[dolivas]

does that cable allow you to download mp3s from the net?

[mikegee]

yea, good question. can i check my email on this guitar? can i instant message my guitar licks to my homies?

[dolivas]

Gibson ethernet guitar... the last place your significant other will find your stash of porn.

*gibson should hire me for pr*

[mikegee]

can i get vonage on that? i wanna take calls on my guitar... "hi, this is mike, thanks for calling my les paul, im not playing it right now, but if you leave a message on my guitar, i will play you some riffing power chords back soon..."

[Whoopysnorp]

I still am having trouble understanding what the damn thing is for. Like, what is a legitimate creative use for it that would allow you to do something that you couldn't do with a regular guitar?

[Chaorta]

I think what we're all wondering is, does it's tone control go to 11?

[mikegee]

mmm 11

i think this is made for ethernet amplifiers

[dolivas]

what would be cool if that in the future some hax0r can hack into someones digi-Gibson, let's say Bon Jovi's, and have it play Hell's Bells instead of whatever crap they were playing.


to be serious though how far off is it to imagine using a true digi wireless device sorta like a wifi instrument connection to any amp or recording device. that's what people need to be experimenting with, not this Jan Hammer-esque kind of guitar.
