Fender Intel Telecaster

disgruntled · 30-01-2006 3:11pm #1

I was just flicking through a magazine the other day when I saw this thing. Aparently Fender and Intel have teamed up to create a tele with a computer in it, go figure. I thought it might be a hoaks or something but no its on both the intel and fender sites. It's just a one off concept telecaster but still.

Mmmmm, computers love nothing more than pickup magnets :v:

I wonder do you play faster if you put an AMD chip in there? boom boom

Fender won't use an AMD because the cost would drop too much and they wouldn't be able to sell for less and still justify their huge profit margin for a mass-produced compu-tar.

Edit: Schecter, however, has just signed an agreement with AMD and ATI to make one that has twice as many effects, twice as many recording tracks, has a sculpted flame maple top, and sells for $495.00.

:v:

Geeky comedy at its best

Pretty cool idea though. Are they sticking windows or something on it. That'd be pretty cool. Those hours wasting away playing solataire

saw that guitar in Total guitar but i didnt know that was a ****ing screen i just thought it was a paint job, could you imagine in the middle of a gig stopping playing to play a massive game of Counter strike.could be quite cool

Yer, intel really do think about what they are working on... NOT! Harddrives and magnets just go great together, i can see it now...

'LADS, JACK IN, LETS RECORD!
*15 minz later after recording the best track ever*
Ahh jaysus, its been wiped off the hard drive'

Could anyone on this board honestly see themselves buying that? Think about the tone!

Im also going to assume that its a touch screen tablet pc - they really have done their research on that one. Your settings would get ruined the second you stand up!

Not to mention that 9/10 rockers have a fat ass Metal buckle belt (i know i do) and when i get 'into my music' i like move about a bit, i could see that screen getting ruined!

Another sinker from intel imo! I can take it fender are the intel of the guitar world

Ill go burn my strat
