USB electric guitar

Having already unleashed the USB Drum Kit on the UK, top gadget store Firebox now has a new  PC-powered noise-maker for home musicians: the iAxe 393 USB Guitar.

This revolutionary instrument looks like a top-notch electric guitar, complete with a maple neck, solid body, single-coil pickups with 5-way switching, chrome machine heads and a vintage whammy bar. But it's also an ingenious USB-friendly axe that allows you to transform your computer into an amp, effects rack and recording system without any additional hardware.

Bundled with idiot-proof software that lets you jam along with your favourite music files, the iAxe 393 will be available to buy from Firebox from the end of the month for £99.95.
