Fundraising goal was $21K...they raised OVER $40K!

EXPENSIVE...$279 Retail.

Should be an interesting legal battle, considering https://www.willcoxguitars.com/lightwav ... up-system/ has been on the market for years...

I actually posted this in another thread with some video clips

I doubt there's patent infringement since oPik is a pickup replacement while the Lightwave is built into the bridge. From all the engineering stuff I've been a part of with patents, claims get to be pretty specific. I'd imagine it being pretty easy to get around it by having a different mounting system.

As to the pickup itself, I'd imagine it would be worth the cost if you are a big nylon guitar player. The sound of a nylon guitar with the playability of an electric guitar? Awesome!
