00:03 Hey, what's up?
00:06 It's Paul from Guitar World, and I'm here at the NAMM 2023 show.
00:10 I'm here with Ray from Donner.
00:12 And Ray is going to tell me about this really striking guitar called the Revo.
00:17 Yeah, yeah, thank you, Hammy.
00:19 This is our new product.
00:21 We call it the Donner Revo Smart Guitar.
00:25 How it's smart?
00:27 So it has two special features inside.
00:31 One, you can see, is the RGB light fretboard.
00:35 It has more than 100 RGB lights inside, and our customer
00:40 can customize the lights in it.
00:44 And it only shows our customer how to play it,
00:49 but also we want to learn it by music theory.
00:54 Because it has different color, you can define the key notes,
00:59 or third note, or fifth note.
01:02 And the other part is our pickup system.
01:05 We call it DMI double pickup system.
01:09 It has two pickups inside, one piezo and one magnet key pickup.
01:14 So it can detect every single note you play.
01:18 And you can record it to share it.
01:21 So we want this guitar to be a teaching, learning, and sharing guitar.
01:27 There's a little touchscreen area here.
01:29 Tell me a little bit about that.
01:31 Touchscreen is for control the light, put out the scales.
01:36 But the most function we are controlling in our application.
01:41 So you have a companion app.
01:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:44 In the app, we have course.
01:47 We have many resources, like songs, like course, like phrase, video.
01:53 And you can learn from our app and both in the guitar playbook.
02:00 Yeah, it makes sense.
02:01 So you can pick a song, and it'll light up the way
02:04 so you know how to play and learn along with the song through the app.
02:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:09 And if you are a teacher, you can teach your students with this guitar.
02:14 And it can record what you play, and you can share to your students.
02:20 You can connect the guitar to each other.
02:23 And when you play, it will show in the other guitar.
02:27 And just when you thought I was going to play it,
02:29 I found this young lady over here.
02:32 Melly Baby Music.
02:34 Hi, nice to meet you.
02:36 I'm Melly.
02:37 That's awesome.
02:38 Well, we just showed you the Revo, but I'm going to have Melly.
02:41 You're going to play us a little tune on the Revo.
02:45 And again, look out for her, Melly Baby Music on all platforms, right?
02:49 Yes, @mellybabymusic.
02:52 Well, take it away.
02:54 [GUITAR PLAYING]
02:58 And one thing I should mention that's very cool,
03:04 can you shut off the lights for a second?
03:08 What I found really cool about the guitar is
03:09 if you looked at the guitar just as is, you would never
03:12 know it has a lighted fretboard.
03:14 And then when he hits it on, they sort of pop out of nowhere.
03:19 It's almost invisible.
03:21 You would never know this was a lighted guitar.
03:23 Spatial rising for make the fretboard.
03:26 So we want the people to not see when the lights turned on.
03:32 Play, it will show the lights.
03:33 [GUITAR PLAYING]
03:38 Just like this.
03:39 Very cool.
03:40 Very cool.
03:41 Ray, thank you very much.
03:42 And this is very impressive, a great learning tool,
03:46 as well as a really easy playing guitar, the Donner Revo.
03:49 Definitely check it out.
03:51 And thank you, Ray.
03:52 Thank you.
