“Developed so that players will always have the assurance of knowing where their guitar is, and what condition it's been kept in”: Lowden puts AI in its acoustics to help players better look after their guitar – and track it down when lost or stolen

Lowden Guitars is trying to prove that AI in the music industry doesn't always have to be something to be scorned at. It has begun building guitars with a built-in sensor to help players take better care of their instrument. The smart sensor will help players track guitar wellbeing traits, including temperature, humidity, vibration, and location. “I'm very excited to know that this program has been developed in conjunction with AWS in the hope that guitar players will always have the assurance of knowing where their guitar is, and what sort of condition it has been kept in,” says founder George Lowden. “[The technology] is really limitless, and new features will be rolled out over time.”As more companies embrace AI technology, it’s clear it is here to stay.
