well here goes...
I have a Moog E1M guitar and it was a really neat technology.
talking to the Moog guys a few years back (and to see if maybe they had one gathering dust in the back or something)
they agreed the tech was probably bettwer suited for lap steel anyway
so looking for a moog lapsteel, preg with the midi pickup
thanks for reading and may this post find you in good health! |

Would be cool. Billy Cardine sounds great on his. If there are two available I'd be interested....

The only one I've ever seen or heard belonged to BIlly Cardine.

| It was an unfortunate demise of a product line. If I recall, there was a part...a chip? that became unavailable. It was a product I'd hoped to follow and hear more about. |

Paul Vo (the guy who desgined the sustain system, does appear to be having source problems for his current epick II design)
too bad, the 6 string version of the technology is really neat and it was a technology people had been clamoring for (The original heet ebow patent actually had an embodiment for a hexaphonic system in the guitar body)
Though there was adoption problems...A lot of guys are more traditionalists than they think they are (ie "but it's not a strat/tele")
I don't REALLY have hope I'll ever find one. But a torpedo in the water is at least a chance |

| I think I remember reading at the time that people were cannibalizing lap steels to repair their guitars. If that's right, then there are even fewer of them out there than there even might have been. |

drag - I missed one with the facotry GK and 10 years ago.
I hesitate to set up my guitar for slide (I'm not sure how sensitive the system is to the radiusing - when I talked to Moog it sounded like they took care to tweak they system for slide |

I wonder if he had it in his Nine Inch Nails days. Lots of weird textures on The Fragile.

That's -- sadly it's the vo sustain system that's the real key
FWIW even on the guitar I don't use it for midi , but for some hex processing - poly slow-gear etc
(I did want to try some returning , etc on a lapsteel through either a VG--9 or see if I could find one of the old Antares units, the ATG-1 with the steel pack installed)
retrofitting hex to a regular steel shouldn't be too hard, esp if it's not reasonably standard bridge - but it's really the Vo sustain thing that's the heart of it all
but on the Moog it's an integrated beast
but I VERY MUCH appreciate yo ubird-dogging a solution for me

dunno, I'll see if I can ask him (I don't know him, but I've seen him post about it. Seems like an open kind of guy)
Man, I'm not sure about the future of Moog, they got bought out by one of the conglomerates
and Wine COuntry sequential (old sequential circuits employees that did maintenence) shut down at the beginning of the year.
The seasons are changing again I suppose |

I had a Mother-32/Subharmonicon/DFAM on order through zzounds right before the buyout and it got cancelled about 6 months later. No idea what's gonna happen with Moog I'd assume manufacture is going overseas at the very least but if it does they really can't justify having Apple of the synth world prices anymore can they.
