Guitar-Diagnosing Gadgets

This Acoustic Guitar App Monitors & Identifies Problems With Your Guitar

— January 26, 2016 — Tech
The TaylorSense is an innovative acoustic guitar device that you can think of as a mobile doctor or fitness tracker for your beloved instrument. Consisting of a number of smart technologies, the TaylorSense setup monitors your guitar's condition and sends you updates and alerts via a companion app on your Bluetooth-equipped smartphone.

The package includes a digital hygrometer that assesses and keeps tabs on humidity, something that can have a detrimental effect on guitars. Extremely low humidity can cause wood to crack, while high humidity can cause problems with finishing layers. This is where the TaylorSense brings bang for your buck -- by letting you know if your guitar's environment is straying above or beyond the happy medium.

The TaylorSense will appeal to owners of acoustic guitars, especially people who own particularly expensive guitars that they'd like to maintain in perfect condition for as long as possible.
