It really reminds me of the T-slot system used on most machine tools - I see the value of it in changing up tooling or setting up jigs, and it might be a real advantage for machine-oriented production, but in an acoustic guitar where every element has an effect on the sound, I have to wonder just how much these systems add versus how much they subtract. I see the advantages in electric instruments, where so much of the sound is dependent on the electronics and the neck to body connection is smaller and more in-line with the strings, but its gonna be a bit of time and alot more first hand experience before I'm convinced these "patent" guitars really benefit guitarists, or luthiers in general -

But I will try to keep an open mind, and open ears -
