If you’ve downloaded a few guitar apps on your iPhone or iPod Touch, and you want to make your device more guitar-like, the Fingerist is the iPhone / iPod Touch accessory you want.

Fit your iPhone or iPod Touch into the chassis, connect via the fold-out dock connector, and you’re away. The addition of the body and neck frees up room for your fingers to better use the iPhone or iPod Touch as an instrument.



The Fingerist contains an in-built speaker, which pushes out 3W/4 Ohms. In addition to making music, you could also simply use the Fingerist and its in-built speaker as an iPod dock, playing your iTunes library just a little louder than the iPhone / iPod’s inbuilt speaker can manage.

Also in the base is a line-out jack, allowing the Fingerist to be plugged into a guitar amp.
