This may be the coolest guitar tech I’ve ever seen. First post hope I did it right. Like holy damn, magnets, this looks like future tech.

    Its a video so tough to quickly scan so I didn’t watch it. To keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling towards each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

      Yeah they did. The first iteration only used the original tuning pegs, which caused problems similar to your comment. In the end he went with a system resembling a more classic floating bridge, and he was able to tune it
