But the price means only the pros like Lou Reed will be buying first generation units. However, once they start using these more publicly, it's going to generate a very large buzz and increase demand for a cheaper version. I know I want one, and I can't even play guitar very well... It would be interesting to take the $6000 price tag and break it down to find out how much of that cost is the Paul Vo/Moog technology and how much is the guitar manufacture itself. As I understand it, the electronics are the main ingredient in making it special, but I don't know how exacting the other side of the equation is. There’s no denying that its a brilliant bit of kit.
