Phoenix & Mermaid Guitars

Old pictures from an old camera: The sun has washed out color, cheap camera, out-of-focus, etc, etc. However...
Roman Myth: The Phoenix lives 500 years when the new bird "Issues Forth" from its parent.
All the birds in the world send representatives which swirl in the skies above;
while the parent is consumed on the Great Pyre at the Temple of the Sun.

The Pharaoh officiates a vast host of supplicants, in bear feet and muslin; all waving palms
and singing throughout the celebrations of the Jubilee of Rebirth.

Surprised at the moment of their discovery

Phoenix motif: The new Phoenix Bird sweeps in to the Temple of the Sun
While the Parent stares across through the flames.

Programmer
Full effects section
Two quad pans and auto-panning. A musician can improvise in new sound and mixing combinations but then return to program-setting at the touch of a button.

Quadraphonic guitar - low strings on one side, high strings on the opposite - dual panning. The guitarist can choose to rocket in from 100 miles away and surf around the audience against his own rhythm, playing as background. 
Or play pure classic guitar while the audience experience is as being directly under the strings, low and high notes cascading around them.

Levels: If levels need adjusting, a step on the actuator and the LEDs show an alert. The peddle becomes freed from its control-voltage and searches for the level of the target. When the levels of the target and the peddle match, the peddle automatically switches to control the new target and freely adjusts, seamlessly.
