The Prism Laser Guitar

A Mutant Guitar/Synth Hybrid With A Monolithic Function Generator 19-Jul-09

Quick - name three things that you'd want built into your ultimate electronic instrument.

If you picked lasers, guitars and synthesizers, then the Prism Laser Guitar may just be your ultimate electronic instrument.

This bizarre DIY axe is "a guitar with some synthesizer mashed in. It has aspects of a theremin and a laser harp thrown in to boot."

It's got laser strings!

It's even got a monolithic function generator onboard.

Women like a man with a monolithic function generator.

And a woman with a monolithic function generator is a force to be reckoned with

If you think that you can handle all that power, check the link below for the guide to building the Prism Laser Guitar.

So cool, but yet SO useless - are we really geeky enough for this toy?

I can't stop thinking about the Flight Of The Conchords episode with Bret and the Casio DG-20 guitar when he plays this thing!!!

I was waiting for the guy to actually play something, but all he did was make some lame noise. Geeks make the worst demos!

This does look very cool, but Moby's demo doesn't do it justice.
