Jacob, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Maryland, worked with some of his students to invent electric guitars that enable a musician to change the basic sound of a guitar with the flip of a switch — rather than a change of guitars. By altering circuits in the guitars that pick up and transmit sound, the new guitars are capable of a bunch of different sounds instead of just one. (For more info, go to coil-guitars.com.)
