The Swiss are great at making high-end watches and delicious cheese, but it looks like they’re also quite apt at creating musical instruments. Jane is an electric guitar manufactured by a Swiss company called Relish Guitars, and it comes with a blend of high quality materials and a dash of innovation. Its frame was made out of aluminum, its fretboard was put together using bamboo and its entire surface received a superb wood finish that gives off a sense of sophistication.
Those who enjoy tweaking their guitars will be glad to know that Jane allows easy access to its intricate electronics. One of the most original features of this high-end product allows the user to turn the pickups on and off using a series of touch sensors placed on the body of the guitar. The space usually occupied by pickup selectors flaunts small white LED lights. By simply touching the sensors, the musician can mute the pickups according to preference, which means that he or she won’t have to deal with conventional volume settings, rocker switches or push-pull knobs.
Relish Guitars set the price of the Jane electric guitar at $5,000.
