Update 07 July: crowd funding period has ended, with over half a million dollars raised, but you can still pre-order on Indiegogo – see below.
● Short enough to fit into your backpack – 7 fret version is just 18 inches (45.7 cm) long – but if you’d prefer, the 12 fret version is 24.5 inches (66.23 cm)
● Length is OK, but where’s the body? – add on body available for both models
● Teaches you to play with software for iOS & the Chrome browser
● Never needs tuning – overcoming a significant barrier for many beginners – & very unlikely to ever need strings replaced
● Already a player? ‘Jamstik 12 is designed as a no-compromise MIDI controller that simply, “works” with the studios & production software producer-guitarists are used to. Finally, a way for guitarists to express themselves the way keyboardists & drummers have been able to for years.’
