Ovation's new iDea acoustic electric guitar (marketing guys, time to stop with the lower case i) comes with a built in MP3 player that not only lets you jam along to backing tracks, but also record directly to the guitar.
The recorder lets you record from the preamp and a built-in microphone — so you can capture vocals as well. It can store around 100 minutes of audio.
For playback you can play through headphones or amp, and tempo can be changed with out changing the pitch.
When will it be released? That I don't know.
Here's a video of it in action:
