The Fretlight 421 Standard Review
March 10th, 2006
I took computer engineering in college and our final semester was a project semester. For the 4 months we were to work on a project that included all of the software and hardware skills we had learned throughout the two years. I had an idea for a guitar that had LED’s on the fretboard that connected to a computer. I thought it would be a great training guitar for beginners and for experienced guitarists looking to learn new scales.
After doing some planning we realized it was beyond our budget and technical ability, so we scrapped that idea. About a year ago I guess, a friend of mine forwarded me this link to the Fretlight 421 Standard. It seems as though while we were planning this project, someone had already gotten it working. Not to mention much nicer than we ever would have.
I still think the guitar is a great idea and here is what the official website says about it “The Fretlight Standard is anything but a basic Stratocaster style guitar. The Fretlight 421 incorporates sleek lines and supple contours to fit snuggly into your body. The Standard has a robust, one custom humbucker/two single coil set-up on a beautiful pearloid pickguard, providing you with a palette of tones to choose from. Finished in classic jet black, pearl white, red light red, or tobacco sunburst, all with chrome hardware to accentuate a vintage look. And don’t forget, the Advanced Polymer Fretboard and maple neck gives your tone a sustain that you’ve only dreamed about!”
