That's the Ben Asaro custom. This way he can surf the web, work and play guitar at the same time. :wink:

... so you can sound like Bo Diddley while doing diddly-squat...

Haha, oh dear.
Good idea, i mean, if you dont have any friends around, like me, and you want to jam with someone, you could like, have an audio convo on MSN or something, and then you could download effects and riffs, tabs, amp sounds...
Do i smell a new wave of piracy? :wink:
Might work, depends how much it costs.

Well....
Kinda, but there is grounds to it, like, having an mp3 player in your guitar so you can record your rhythm into that, then play that into your amp while you play over it.
Rhythm guitarists are obselite....oh cr@p, thats me!?
