Some people prefer to buy from a manufacturer; some people prefer to roll their own. In this case, the DIY job is the construction of a USB guitar, where the output of the guitar's pickups goes through a circuit board that digitizes it and sends it out through a USB port built into the guitar's exterior for processing on the computer of your choice. USB guitars are a big step forward in digital recording in general - they can eliminate the need for expensive personal sound cards - and if you're an electrically savvy musician, this project is a good introduction to what you'll need to do to digitize your favorite axe. Be warned, though: this project isn't for the inexperienced. PC Magazine's description assumes a lot of prior knowledge - not to mention access to some pretty hefty power tools - and sums what has to be a day's worth of work into ten steps. If that doesn't cool your ardor though, we say go for it, and make sure you use a guitar that's enjoyable to play. About Everything USB
