A standard acoustic guitar has six strings and a hollow body made of wood. Every guitar is unique: no two wooden instruments are exactly the same; to a trained ear, there are subtle differences in tone. The structure of the body of a guitar is what makes a particular instrument sound the way it does, in addition to the qualities of the wood.

Chameleon Guitar body can be made of any material; the "heart" of the Chameleon Guitar, the resonator, determines the basic nature of the sound. In respect for tradition, each wood piece has unique acoustic properties.

The sound is captured by multiple sensors on the resonator, and then processed through customized computer software, to create synthetic sounds, digital effects, or to simulate different body sizes.

The many and varied resonators all have different characteristics and properties which can, in turn, be enhanced in infinite ways.

At heart, the interface is the same as a regular acoustic guitar: if you know how to play guitar, you can play the chameleon guitar. The resonator can be replaced in just ten seconds. It can be made from alternative materials; anyone can experiment in making his or her own resonator. Together with the computer, the Chameleon Guitar has infinity sound possibilities, connecting the acoustic with the digital; virtual environments, such as computer games, animated movies or social networks can be connected to hand crafted instrument.
