[Frameworks] Magnasynch Moviola guitar amp

[todd eacrett]

This has me thinking about other guitar applications of obsolete film 
tech. IR optical pickups are now available, but has anyone tested old 
16mm optical heads with strings? Is the response rate fast enough for a 
string's vibration? I envision a frankenguitar of unplayable 
proportions and unbearable sounds. My kind of project.
