This week's featured article from Allsound.org, "Moog Guitar: Has The Guitar Finally Beaten The Violin?" compares the acoustic breadth and complexities of the violin, to that of the post-modern iteration of the electric guitar, created by Moog Music.

In comparison to the traditional acoustic tonal values and explosiveness that can be found with the violin, the volume and singing tones of an acoustic guitar have been known to possess a much lower threshold when it comes to strength and sustain.

Yet with the help of acoustic technology and electricity--the electric guitar is capable of projecting much more sound than its acoustic equivalent. Moog Music's electric guitar not only succeeds in this, but also continues to fine-tune its features to allow for unparalleled control of sustain and decay and precise articulation of tonal variations. The availability of these features for the electric guitar can arguably pose a threat of competition to the acoustic qualities of the violin, perhaps lessening the gap between the dynamics of these two musical instruments.

Some of the key features of the Moog electric guitar include:

- Full Sustain: Allows for infinite sustain in any position and at any volume

- Controlled Sustain: Allows the user to manipulate specific sustained notes without having to mute inactive guitar strings

- Mute Mode: Provides timbral variation and short decays unlike any other guitar

- Harmonic Blend function: Allows user to transfer between bridge and neck pickups, with added harmonics control

- Moog filter
