New, redesigned, and coming in 2015. Yes, I want one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKx5s2rDQ9cI don't know how I never heard of these before? Apparently, it was invented by Godley & Creme of 10cc, and was later manufactured and sold near the end of the Seventies in the UK. It's similar to an e-bow in sound, but it's polyphonic and uses brushes/multiple motorized picks instead of oscillating magnetic field used in the e-bow.
Here's a vintage news piece featuring the inventors and product team, with more demonstrations:

Awesome! I'd heard of the original Gizmo but I didn't know about the Gizmotron 2.0. I wonder what the price will be?
Here's the official website: http://www.gizmotron.com/ (http://www.gizmotron.com/)
I signed up at the site for notification and also asked about pricing and mounting (I may need to pick up a beater electric guitar if mounting a Gizmotron is destructive).
Here's another video - this one's a promotional flexidisc demonstrating the original model from the 1970s:

In The Evening:

Very cool. Kind of like a Fernandez sustainer or the poor man's Moog guitar. The Pete Townshend Les Paul caught my eye as well. I clicked on the link expecting a marital aide. By the looks of it, I may have been right.

Yeah - this is very cool.
But I really must stop buying stuff. But it is cool!!!!
dear lord this is cool
Oh my, now i not only want an ebow ........
And a Fernandez sustainer.........
I really really need a Gizmotron 2.0 too ::)
i was a big fan of godley and creme. if i recall correctly they used it for their album "L". which was fabulous.
a lot of info on the gizmo's history here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gizmo
Mmmmh....sincerely, I think that a Fishman TriplePlay or a Roland GP-10 (13 cable connected), using the "right" Kontakt or Omnisphere libraries, can obtain same (or even better) results...

That Gizmotron sounds awesome but looks gruesome. Any vids of how it`s installed? Yeah Jimmy page

Damn Blooby, I now have a Les Paul and a Strat and you had to let me see that Moog guitar.
I love that it`s not MIDI. Gas attack!!!

According to the official Moogmusic website, these Moog Guitars are all discontinued. And their cost was more than 3000 $. So, probably you may save your GAS attack for something else... :D
