The Innovative DaVinci Guitar: Saying Goodbye to Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)

Many musicians face a common challenge known as "Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)", where they constantly search for the perfect guitar, leading them to track the latest products in stores and online. In an innovative move, Cream Guitars recently unveiled its new and innovative "DaVinci" guitar, which embodies a unique blend of classic design and modern technologies.

Understanding Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)

"Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)" is a term used by musicians to describe the intense desire to constantly buy or switch new musical equipment, such as guitars or effects, often driven by the belief that new gear will significantly improve their skills or sound. This behavior can lead to the accumulation of unnecessary equipment and costs.

DaVinci's Unique Design and E Ink Technology

The DaVinci guitar features a body design inspired by the iconic Gibson Explorer and Firebird models, with bold lines and sharp angles that give it a unique look. But the real innovation lies in its body, which is covered with an advanced E Ink display, allowing the guitar's color and appearance to be completely changed at the touch of a button.

This display relies on a large E Ink Prism 3 panel cut to fit the guitar's shape, a low-power screen that emits no light. E Ink Prism 3 technology is known for its ability to display vibrant, stable colors with extremely low power consumption, making it ideal for applications requiring flexible visual updates without the need for constant backlighting. Its design can be customized via Bluetooth using the accompanying app. Seven colors are available to choose from and can be blended across 64 different segments. For example, you can experiment with different colors for the pickguard compared to the rest of the body, or use multi-color geometric patterns.

Sound Flexibility with Fishman Fluence Pickups

In addition to choosing the guitar's appearance, you can also select from three different sounds. Fishman Fluence pickups can be switched between single coil, traditional humbucker, and high-output humbucker sounds. Fishman Fluence pickups are known for their advanced technology that provides multiple noise-free sonic profiles, giving musicians great flexibility in performance and achieving varied, clear tones.

High-Quality Traditional Components

The rest of the guitar's components are more traditional, featuring locking Ratio Graphtech tuners, jumbo frets, a roasted maple neck with block inlays, and a rosewood fretboard.

Price and Availability

Expectations indicate that this guitar will cost $3500 US dollars, which is not an astronomical price in the world of guitars. Shipping is expected to begin in the summer of 2026, with only 85 units available for pre-order.
