See chords, scales, fingerpicking, and songs directly on your fretboard. Learn faster. Play with confidence and perform anywhere.
If you have ever felt overwhelmed trying to translate paper tabs to a physical fretboard, Litejam has engineered an instrument that removes the guesswork. Launching on Kickstarter, the Litejam Neo A1 is billed as the first RGB electric acoustic guitar. By combining a durable carbon fiber body with a fully illuminated smart fretboard, it visually guides your fingers through chords, scales, and complex fingerpicking patterns in real time.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Litejam Neo A1 The World's First RGB Electric Acoustic Guitar by Litejam Guitars.
What It Is The Litejam Neo A1 is a smart acoustic electric guitar built from a one piece carbon fiber composite. It features 132 RGB LEDs embedded directly into the fretboard that light up to teach you songs, scales, and picking techniques visually.
KEY FEATURES
RGB Smart Fretboard The guitar features a vibrant LED system underneath the fretboard. Instead of looking back and forth at a screen or sheet music, you can simply look down and see exactly where to place your fingers for chords and scales.
Visual Fingerpicking System One of the hardest parts of acoustic playing is fingerpicking coordination. The LED system uses color coding to guide both hands, showing your fretting hand where to hold a chord while indicating exactly which string your picking hand should pluck next.
Carbon Fiber Construction The entire body, neck, and fretboard are molded from a single piece of carbon fiber. This makes the guitar incredibly lightweight at just 1.8 kilograms while rendering it highly resistant to warping from temperature or humidity changes.
Built in Acoustic Effects The guitar features a built in pickup, preamp, and an advanced resonance system. This allows you to add reverb, delay, and chorus effects directly to your acoustic sound without ever plugging into an external amplifier.
Companion App Integration The instrument connects via Bluetooth to the Litejam app. The app provides AI chord detection, a massive library of interactive tabs, and the ability to completely customize the colors and animations of your fretboard lights.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Early backers can secure the Neo A1 for an initial VIP price of 299 dollars, which is a massive 200 dollar discount off the expected retail price.
Options While the Acoustic A1 is a major highlight, the campaign also offers illuminated electric and bass guitar models in various colors. Pledges typically include accessories like a gig bag, an instrument cable, and a strap.
Delivery The Kickstarter campaign is currently active and fully funded, running until early September 2026. The creators will provide backers with detailed manufacturing updates before finalizing shipping timelines.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Intuitive Musical Visualization. The creators at Litejam believe that the steepest hurdle for new guitarists is simply translating theory to physical finger placement. By turning the fretboard itself into an interactive, glowing map, they aim to make learning faster, improvising less intimidating, and performing significantly more visually engaging.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the common frustrations beginners face, especially the difficulty of mastering thumb independence and fingerpicking patterns. After finding success with their illuminated electric guitars, the engineering team realized that acoustic players needed their own dedicated tool. They focused on building a rugged, travel ready carbon fiber instrument that could survive outdoor environments while offering exclusive new learning modes specifically tailored for acoustic rhythm and fingerstyle techniques.
