"Stage rigs and LED walls morph through palettes every night while the guitar stays frozen, a static object carried by musicians who constantly reinvent their sound and visual identity. Cream Guitars' DaVinci wraps its entire body in an E Ink Prism 3 panel, turning the surface into a programmable skin that changes colors and patterns over Bluetooth. Instead of a single paint job, the guitar becomes a dynamic canvas."
"Prism 3 is color changing ePaper, closer to a Kindle page than an LED screen. It does not emit light, just holds pigment using low power electrophoretic particles. DaVinci's front divides into sixty four segments, each assigned one of seven colors, white, black, yellow, orange, blue, red, or green. That segmentation lets you build stripes, blocks, and faux pickguards, changing the visual structure without touching a spray can."
Guitarists often select a finish once and remain visually fixed while stage visuals and identities evolve. The DaVinci wraps its whole body in an E Ink Prism 3 panel that changes colors and patterns via Bluetooth, turning the instrument into a programmable visual surface. The display divides into sixty-four segments with seven available colors, enabling stripes, blocks, and faux pickguards without repainting. The ePaper draws power only when changing, staying visible under stage lights without emitting light or draining battery between shows. The instrument mounts serious hardware: a Voltage body, roasted maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Graphtech locking tuners, and Fishman Fluence pickups with three voices.
