Description

Will this change the sound of the guitar...?
A thorough investigation into the mysteries of sound that everyone has!

"Does it change the sound of the guitar?" is the central question that Director Idonuma takes on as his serial feature "Digimart Underground Laboratory" on the musical instrument information site Digimart Magazine (https://www.digimart.net/magazine/), where he experiments with all sorts of things.
This deep and popular series has finally been published as a book!
In addition to 22 particularly popular articles, the book also includes a special edition, "Pickup Verification Experiments."
Of course, all of the projects in this book are video compatible, so you can watch the experiments on your smartphone or PC.
If you can experience the sound through the video, the project will definitely be twice as fun!
Please enjoy it together with the video.
