The inspiration to make music could strike everywhere, but it would be inconveninent having to carry your guitar anywhere. Don’t fret, because we’ve got FretPen.
Call it a tiny, portable guitar, FretPen is actually a pen. But when you pop off the cap, then connect the ballpoint into the guitar body, you can start plucking that one tiny string. The device connects with a smartphone via Bluetooth, which then serves as a wireless amplifier that can blare out a variety of rock sounds whether acoustic or garage.
Because it only has a single string, the device features a directional pad on the body to simulate the multiple guitar strings and frets. And if you are in a mood to write lyrics to your rock masterpiece, just pull out the pen from the fret board and jot the words away.
Created by a Colorado-based startup, the FretPen is currently on Kickstarter asking for a $35,000 funding. As of this writing, the campaign has received over $11,000 worth of pledges. You can pre-order the device with at least $119 pledge, with an expected delivery on November 2014.
