We all know I love weird guitars, which means I love guitar innovation. The team at Shark Guitars are doing some of the most cutting-edge things I've ever seen. Travel guitars with removable necks have been done, swappable pickups & electronics have been done, but Shark seems to be taking those features to the next level. But... the title of the video refers to what's going on with the FRETS! Consider how this changes guitar playability, intonation, customization, and the future of how you service your instrument.

As someone who designs little mechanical systems from time to time. Those clips and latches seem super satisfying. Would be fun and challenging to design and make those.

That fret system is very cool and did it seem like they'll be selling (licensing?) it so other guitar companies/luthiers can build it into their guitars?

yeah, very satisfying clicks when snapping components back together. licensing would be a smart move, I think.
