This may be the coolest guitar tech I've ever seen. First post hope I did it right. Like holy damn, magnets, this looks like future tech.

Its a video so tough to quickly scan so I didn't watch it. To keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling towards each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

95% of the video was about how hard tuning was. So yah its hard.

Yup. Tuning seemed to be a right PITA.

Yeah they did. The first iteration only used the original tuning pegs, which caused problems similar to your comment. In the end he went with a system resembling a more classic floating bridge, and he was able to tune it
