The conceptual 'Ni28' MIDI guitar has been designed by Joris Wegner as a minimalist take on the musical instrument for avid musicians in search of a simple yet powerful alternative.
The guitar features a skeletal construction that is devoid of knobs, controllers and strings in favor of an alternative control system. This consists of nickel-plated brass plates that, when touched, will activate different nodes without having to apply necessary pressure. Players can also bridge two adjacent plates together before touching the string-inspired section on the waist for an effect.
The conceptual 'Ni28' MIDI guitar maintains a range of advantages over conventional electric guitars like requiring less pressure to activate the plates versus the frets, not requiring muscle memory and much more.
