Don’t you hate it when you start in the pleasant key of G, but then the song modulates and you have to finish in difficult G-sharp (or, worse yet, A-flat)?
Just push the Key-Change Button. It causes the first fret to pop up and press against the strings. (It’s like a stealth capo that you can activate
while playing) Shift your hand up one fret and play the “same” chords, now a half-step higher!
Try the Hipshot Trilogy.

Twice in one day I get to link to Hipshot's site. Pretty much baked by those clever guys. |

Jimmy Page has used this system for a few years. |
|
| |
hey, why not extend the system for the first - let's say- 5 freets, so, you choose which one to raise, and then, you don't need a capo? |
|
| |
They have pedals that do this. |
|
| |
And if you're really good enough you don't even a guitar, you can make all the sounds with your mouth. |

Can we please kill this idea as Widely Known to Exist (albeit amongst guitar lalyers!) We are the only sad buggers who deal with tunings anyway! (p.s. I currently have "The Rain Song" tuning on my guitar - now that is seriuosly cool! |
|

So, there are guitars with frets that pop up on demand? |

[gnomethang]: I currently have 729 different tunings on my Vox. |
