The iPad can be transformed into a guitar through one simple app, but the crew at Starr Labs decided to take things further with the iTar.
Instead of holding your iPad in an awkward position while trying to play the guitar on it, the iTar will actually bring you closer to the real thing. Starr Labs has integrated fretboard technology into the design, which has been used by numerous rock stars in the past. The addition of the neck should make playing the guitar app on the iPad a lot more comfortable and add a certain level of authenticity.
The iTar is in its beginning stages, so if you want one for yourself, go to the Starr Labs page, pledge money and pre-order.
