About Sensitive Guitars
Having been learning guitar for our entire life, we know the hurdles and challenges of beginners, bands and professional musicians. The digital and sensitive guitar we came up with, can simplify your life, too.
Putting an orange computing unit into guitars, the SensGuitar is able to perceive your interactions with the guitar, process digital information and adapt to your sensitivities.
With the Kickstarter campaign, we intend to realize the following:
- Integrate Community Feedback
We aim to create a community for next generation guitars and finalize SensGuitar components on the basis of your feedback. - Release Open Source Components
We aim to release SensGuitar components under an Open Source license, so that the community created can individualize next generation guitars.
Based on the SensGuitar components plugging into each other in interactive harmony, your guitar will evolve spirally through components and support your needs throughout your entire musical life.

Timeline
Having started in 2017, the development of the first version of a SensGuitar has been realized in four agile iterations. Having focuses a proof of concept, we have learnt a lot and each iteration has improved previous artifacts step by step. With your aid, we would love to finalize the SensGuitar and create a second version on the basis of your feedback.
Depending on the final target level, we intend to a) solicit your feedback, b) discuss ideas, c) revise current SensGuitar components, and d) release repositories as open source. Hopefully the next-generation-guitar community will adopt the ideas and the second version of the SensGuitar will be at the next level intended.
