New York - BridgeCo, a developer of digital entertainment networking technologies, on Friday introduced what it says is the world's first FireWire Guitar, which utilizes the IEEE 1394 interface to directly connect the instrument to a computer for recording, editing and mixing. The technology enables, among other things, each guitar string to be recorded as a separate track. New York-based BridgeCo partnered with Swiss designer Rolf Spuler, who has crafted instruments for Al DiMeola and Bela Fleck, on the design of the FireWire Guitar.
