new electronic guitar technology

http://www.theworkcircuit.com/story/OEG20020828S0046

retired Italian military electronics guy (worked on
F104 and Navstar GPS)...

"Giordano explains the problem thus: Despite all
the shielding added to the signal path, the wiring
harness that links the parts combines with the
nature of the transducers on the electric guitar to
create a "marvelous antenna effect." The instrument
"can pick up any possible noise around you,"
Giordano said - from electric motors, neon signs,
transformers, electrical appliances, TVs, even
sunspots. "

"To dampen the incoming noise, tame the resulting
yawps and squeals and save time for recording engineers
who otherwise must spend hours cleaning up studio
recordings, Giordano invented an electric guitar
pickguard, composed of a full eight-layer electronic
board. A conventional pickguard is a thin plastic
covering mounted to the top of steel string guitars to
prevent scratches on the guitar body from the guitar
pick's slashing impact during normal playing. In many
electric guitars, including the venerated Fender
Stratocaster, the pickguard also serves as a removable
panel that allows access to the electronics of the
instrument. Giordano packed his pickguard with
electronics of its own. "

person across the room hears is, well, unbelievable:
all of a sudden, the sound of a waterfall has

"The Hyper-Sonic Sound System (HSS), as he calls it,

speed of light may not be constant...

http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,54394,00.html

Interesting read...

"The suggestion that the speed of light can change
is based on data collected by UNSW astronomer John
Webb, who posed a conundrum when he found that light
from a distant quasar, a star-like object, had
absorbed the wrong type of photons from interstellar
clouds on its 12 billion year journey to earth.

"The discrepancy could only be explained if either the
electron charge, or the speed of light, had changed.

"But two of the cherished laws of the universe are
the law that electron charge shall not change and
that the speed of light shall not change, so whichever
way you look at it we're in trouble," Davies said.
