Lou Reed Takes the New "Moog Guitar" for a Test Drive

Robert Moog was a genius, plain and simple. In the 60's his revolutionary Moog synthesizer, the first widely used electronic instrument, introduced musicians to a brave new world of sound. From the Beatles to Yes to Stereolab, his creation transformed modern music forever.

Now, more than 40 years later the Moog company has introduced it's newest creation, The Moog Guitar. An idea which I imagine stems from today's fusion-heavy music world. Perhaps this creation will change the world again...Here's a video of Lou Reed trying it out:

Yea, when Lou Reed calls your creation "amazing," you know you've done good.

Learn more about this new creation at the official Moog website and be sure to check out the excellent documentary, Moog.
