COLLEGE PARK, Md. - When University of Maryland Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Bruce Jacob played guitars in the past, he just wasn't satisfied with its sound.
His solution? He chose to design his own.

His new guitars go on sale this week through his company, Coil LLC. Guitars are priced from $1,000.
Watch Jacob and University of Maryland alumnus Justin Ahmanson explain the inner workings of the guitar invention.
