The open frames of the Ridgewing body allow the attachment of programmable strip LEDs to the inside surface pointing in towards the back of the grills for full-function dynamic light shows. A decorative reflective metallic fabric back can be attached with Velcro to reflect the light forward through the grills, sequins being a favorite. Add Bluetooth, controller, some code and power supply, and let the fun begin. No other guitar offers this functionality and illumination geometry. In the picture here a bright line of white LEDs circles around the perimeter and is shown “frozen” at the 10 o’clock position.
