On a wholly unrelated note (vis-a-vis 8-string prog), I ran across this today:

Apparently the MSA thingy is a solid-body guitar mod that was sold in the '80s that allowed one to to bend EVERY string like a pedal steel player would. The demo video has, among other things, a guy playing some seriously cool Lenny Breau harmonics with a pedal steel feel. Very nifty.
Edit: MSA markets regular ol' pedal steels as well (or used to, Stubhead can chime in for sure). And they do precision machinery for aerospace, geophysics, and other scientific and industrial applications. I find it amazing that they even came up with this product - I think Maurice Anderson must have really just wanted it for himself, because the return on the investment would be REALLY hard to come by.
