3. The Trouble with Guitars…
Guitars are inherently unstable...
Changes in temperature, aging
strings, use and other factors
constantly de-tune guitars.
Out-of-tune guitars waste your time
and money, and hurt your sound.

Good for Every Guitarist
Beginners: Self-tuning saves time and helps instill sense of
perfect-pitch. Allows beginners to learn to play songs more
easily by allowing them to use the tunings the artists have
written the songs in.
Intermediates: Save time and experiment with alternative
tunings. Allows intermediates to change tunings while
playing and allows them to access more tunings faster and
more accurately than ever before.
Professional Players: Saves time and ensures perfect tuning
in all studio, live and songwriting settings. Alternate tuning,
too! Allows professionals to save money on equipment as
one guitar can now be tuned and retuned at the touch of a
button, allowing for fewer guitar purchases etc.

9. Why AxCent is Different
AxCent is the only self-tuning
system that uses a patented “open
loop” technology.
Other, less successful self-tuning
systems are “closed loop”, and
unlike AxCent, cannot be used on a
wide range of new and old guitars.
They also do not allow for tuning
changes while playing.

This projection assumes we capture only 1.8% of the candidate domestic guitar
market or .72% of the candidate global guitar market by the fifth year. We
believe it is possible to attain that share even earlier.
