Guitar, like many musical instruments, is not easy to pick up (pun not intended). But thanks to modern wonders like the AeroBand Guitar, shredding your favorite tunes just got a lot simpler—and a lot smarter. This digital MIDI guitar is so intuitive it might have Beethoven slapping his forehead, wondering why he never thought of silicone strings.
Soft, comfy strings embedded right into the fretboard make for marathon practice sessions that won’t leave your hands pleading for mercy. Whether you’re after the soulful strum of an acoustic or the deep thrum of a bass, the AeroBand lets you cycle through tones with a press of a button. For added versatility, you can even channel your inner Mozart and turn this guitar into a piano.
You may notice that part of this new-age guitar’s sleekest was made possible by the lack of pickup. It does not need any. Under the hood, it is rocking 4-DSP chips that enable it to deliver authentic instrument tones. Like, who would have thought DSP would ever cross paths with a guitar, right? I certainly did not.
This all-in-one wonder packs a built-in 30 W speaker and a drum loop system for those who like their music on the move. And when your inner rock god needs to go silent, there’s a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Bluetooth 5.1 and 5.3 connectivity ensures the guitar can chat with your favorite apps and MIDI software, while its 13,500 mAh battery delivers up to 12 hours of playtime before needing a three-to-four-hour nap.
Measuring 99.6 cm (39.21 inches) long, 32.5 cm (12.8 inches) wide, and 6.8 cm (2.68 inches) thick, it’s impressively portable—especially with its detachable neck. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of guitars, minus the corkscrew.
At US$399 (a discount from its $459 regular price), the AeroBand Guitar might just be your ticket to skipping the “Smoke on the Water” beginner phase and going straight to “Stairway to Heaven.” Or at least “Happy Birthday.”
