Travelling with your guitar is a pain in the ass. Now, just imagine it was far easier and you weren’t just toting around your six-string, but a whole musical arsenal? Say hello to the Instrument 1 from Artiphon. Crafted from heirloom-quality hardwoods, the body connects with your iPhone and has a six-string, six-fret virtual keyboard and sensitive strum bar for your picking hand. Of course, strumming a few songs is not where the Instrument 1 stops. In fact, with the amount of CoreMIDI apps available with Audiobus capabilities, your Artiphon Instrument 1 can also help you create beats, do stuff with a synthesizer, and record all you’re working on. It sports a compact size, solid battery life, and could be the instrument of choice for anyone inspired to get their Daft Punk on.
