WHAT IS A
KUZMA SELF-PLAYING GUITAR?
​A Kuzma Self-Playing Guitar is a hand assembled ARTIST. Although the exact definition of what this artist's style, skill, and showmanship is will change over time, custom and sporadic deliveries have taken place since January 2024 after 7 years of development.
​
Here is where this ARTIST sits today:
-
The Kuzma Self-Playing Guitar is made up of any normal guitar and a patented Kuzma Self-Playing System that includes a picking system (Stealth Pick), a fretting system (Ninja Fret), a control box (The Shred Machine), and a touchscreen for selecting what music to play.
-
A guitar is ALWAYS the center of a Kuzma Self-Playing Guitar. There will be NO permanent modifications to the instrument onto which the Kuzma Self-Playing System is attached to--although we may reccommend a stainless steel fret upgrade.
-
The calibration required to install the Kuzma Self-Playing System is not a simple process. For this reason, the Kuzma Self-Playing Guitar will arrive pre-assembled and calibrated to the guitar it is attached to upon delivery. All deliveries are done in person, but special exceptions may be made in the future.
