The guys at Create Digital Music apparently didn’t believe the news that Moog is coming out with a guitar, an announcement that came on April 1. Here’s their mea culpa:

It’s tough to pull off an April Fool’s joke in the age of the blogosphere, because on April 1, everyone’s RSS feeds are saturated with fake news.

So, how do you fool people? With real news that seems outlandish enough to be a joke. It wouldn’t be the first time 4/1 became an auspicious date; Apple, Inc. incorporated as a business on the first of April.

And so, it seemed I got … uh, punked. Because sources close to Asheville tell us that the Moog guitar, teased yesterday in a video, is really coming. A guitar from Moog. You heard that right. (More comments are coming in, leaving no question: it’s real. Oops.) The Moog Music homepage has the video, so maybe someone who knows something about guitars / doesn’t already look like an idiot regarding this story would like to comment?

I just hope Gibson doesn’t sue Moog claiming to have invented sound.

GearWire says rumors have been running rampant in the music world, but nobody seems to know for sure. Can anybody tell definitively whether or not our Ashevegas Moog compatriots have a guitar coming? We’ve got our eyes glued to https://allaxess.com/ and we’re spam refreshing, we need it!

I can’t find anything at Moog Music, based here in Asheville. Somebody, help me out here.
