Not sure I really want to know what that pink thing is in the 11th picture either....

And I love the "gasket type thing" on the bridge to keep vibration and transfer to a minimum. Seems critical in a musical instrument like a guitar. Also, if you have a "through type" bridge, why have those bridge pin like things to keep the strings in place? The longer I look, the more questions I have....

The tuners should have been placed closer to the edge of the headstock. They are too far inboard.

But they're "hidden tuners that work," so the ones in the picture must be dummies!

A quick search shows that the guitar is actually a Kay Force 3 model.

And the gearing mechanism on the tuners is hidden within the headstock.

Indeed!

Too innovative, presaging Ovation and Robotuners.
