Description

The Davinci by Cream Guitars

The Cream Guitars DaVinci is a professional electric guitar that stands out as the world’s first color-changing guitar using E Ink Prism 3 ePaper technology embedded into the body.
This lets players customize colors and patterns on the guitar’s surface via Bluetooth and a companion app all without continuous power draw while still delivering high-quality tone and performance.
Versatile tone: Fishman Fluence pickups give a wide palette from crisp, articulate single-coil sounds to thick, high-output humbucker power.
Pro-level feel: Modern neck profile and quality hardware aim for comfortable playability suited to stage and studio.
Visual expression: Color/pattern customization adds a new visual dimension to performance without affecting tone or weight.

Specs:

• E Ink Prism 3 ePaper body: Programmable, non-emissive display covering the guitar body for dynamic color and pattern changes visible without power.
• Bluetooth & app control: Change looks on the fly (e.g., seven colors across segmented surface).
• Pickups: Custom Fishman Fluence system with voice options single-coil, traditional humbucker, and high-output humbucker voices for versatile tones.
• Controls: Standard volume/tone setup with pickup voice/interactions via selector.
• Neck Material: Roasted maple (techwood) neck.
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with jumbo frets.
• Tuners: Graphtech ratio locking tuners. • Switching: 3-way pickup selector (often Sony or high-quality switch).
• Body Style: Offset shape reminiscent of designs like Explorer/Firebird bold and ergonomic.
• Construction: Cream Guitars emphasizes bold ergonomics and innovative materials while keeping playability and tone intact.
• Dynamic customization: Display segments can be set with different patterns/colors.
• Low power: E Ink technology consumes power only when changing images, not continuously.
• Limited first run: Early units are limited (e.g., first ~100).

The DaVinci Electric Guitar Is a Chameleon That Can Change Colors

vice.com

The Cream Guitars DaVinci stands out with its innovative E Ink technology, allowing for customizable aesthetics, which could appeal to the tech-savvy musician. However, the limited pattern options and absence of a pick guard might concern traditionalists. While its sound quality isn't compromised, its $2,500 price tag for a guitar that’s more show than go might deter some. With production uncertainties looming, this chameleon guitar is a novel but niche offering.

This color-changing E Ink guitar absolutely rocks, and I wish I could afford it | TechRadar
