# Skeletal Illuminated Guitars Pick Your LED Color of Choice for This High-Tech Light-Up Guitar By Jen Chae | Published 2013-06-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-guitar References: [gittlerinstruments](http://gittlerinstruments.com/order) LED color is probably the last thing you'd think of picking on a guitar, but that's what makes this [minimalistic light-up guitar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board) special. We often see minimalistic movements in art and photography, which is a huge hit. But taking this concept into the instrument industry is far less common. Sparkling in white, blue or yellow lights, the Gittler's rounded frets are marked with LED indicators to help you learn easier. The guitar looks more like an electronic device than the [classic string instrument](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-paul-custom-70s). Though it looks bare, the futuristic device is a full 31 fret in range and includes all the features you'd need to make music. It is equipped with headless tuners, a [detachable acrylic neck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-guitars) and a mini-tripod. It also comes with a sleek, custom-molded metal case. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalistic Instrument Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing other instruments with a minimalist approach, incorporating innovative features and materials. - **LED Integration in Musical Instruments:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating LED indicators and customizable lighting options in various musical instruments to enhance user experience and aesthetics. - **Blurring the Line Between Electronics and Traditional Instruments:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating instruments that bridge the gap between traditional instruments and electronic devices, offering a unique fusion of technology and musical experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Musical Instrument Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing and producing advanced, high-tech musical instruments that incorporate innovative features and cutting-edge materials. - **Lighting and LED Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding lighting and LED technology to new markets, such as the musical instrument industry, by creating tailored solutions for instrument integration. - **Instrument Accessories and Cases:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing unique and customizable accessories and casings specifically tailored to accommodate innovative instruments, providing enhanced portability and protection. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Abstract Musical Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeta-electric-guitar.md) - [Minimalist MIDI Guitar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midi-guitar.md) - [Electric Ink Color-Changing Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voltage-davinci.md) - [Electronic String Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmoni.md) - [Carbon Fiber Smart Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-me-3.md) - [Braille-Covered Electric Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitar-guitar.md) - [Children-Forward Guitar Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallscale-electric-guitars.md) - [Effect-Emitting Guitar Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guitar-gadgets.md) - [Shreddable Steampunk Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-guitar.md)
