Optek Music Systems Announces Significant Price Reductions For Entire Line of One-Of-A-Kind Fretlight® Guitar
Online, January 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Optek Music Systems, Inc., makers of the interactive Fretlight® Guitar, announced today it is cutting prices of its entire line of electric guitars. With this development, the company is aiming to make learning to play the guitar - and the typical costs associated with traditional methods of learning - more affordable for the consumer.
Musicians-to-be, as well as established players will be able to experience the Fretlight® Guitar's revolutionary lighted learning system starting as low as $299. The new pricing reflects a $100 per-unit savings across the entire Fretlight® line including the FG-421 Standard Electric, the FG-431/441 Vintage Electrics and the FG-451 Pro Guitars (www.fretlight.com).
"We wanted consumers to be able to share in our enthusiasm for learning to play the guitar and experience our lighted technology learning system in a way they can afford," said, Rusty Shaffer, CEO of Optek Music Systems, Inc. "The cost and time of learning to play guitar can really add up. We are certainly aware, given the current state of the economy that people can always benefit from a little help when embarking on a new hobby, so we decided to cut our prices. We wanted to provide value for the consumer by offering a cutting edge technology packaged with an exceptional instrument, something more than just a guitar."
The full-size, six-string Fretlight® Guitar features a built-in lighted learning system hidden under the fretboard, providing a unique educational experience for everyone from beginners to the advanced player. With free software for both the PC and Mac, the Fretlight® Guitar allows users to light up - on the fretboard right under their fingers- songs, riffs, chords and scales and see where to place their fingers in order to hit the right notes. Additionally, the Fretlight's® advanced technology allows users to take interactive lessons at all levels and provides a simple, plug-and-play experience via the connection of a 10-foot USB cable directly from the instrument to the computer.
