  • Michael Kuzma developed the Kuzma Self-Playing Guitar System in 9,400 hours.
  • The system includes 3D-printed parts, motors, belt drives, and can both pick and fret.
  • It can play up to 44 notes per second, faster than humanly possible.
  • Kuzma custom-builds these systems starting at $40,000, with seven units delivered so far.
  • The invention has been used for hands-off busking, though some criticize its lack of human-like expression.
