Title: Re: guitar synth opinions/experience/etc.

You shouldn't have to make that choice.  The internal GK-2A is available.  This is the

version of the pickup used in the Strats.  I've got one on my touch-guitar and it's just

awesome.  These should be available through luthier supply stores.

what do you think of the r-ready strat, does the guitar really matter or is it just a place to mount a pick-up?.....

The guitar really matters. The Roland-ready Strat is simply not as good a guitar as my other Strat. The only reason I bought it was that I hated having the GK-2A pasted onto my good guitar. I didn't want to screw it on, and the double-sided foam tape cape coming unstuck.

If you intend to have a MIDI guitar that is just a MIDI guitar then the only things that matters are playing comfort and a decent neck. As for me, I'd prefer a guitar that can function in several modes. I'm considering customizing my American Deluxe Fat Strat with an RMC system and a Sustainiac. Then sometime down the road if money is available I may have a guitar made.
