optical pickup

there was a guitar to midi converter called photon that used such an 
optical PU. The advantages are that its easy to separate strings and 
mount it without modifying the instruments. The position has to be 
pretty acurate, vertically, but string bending does not hurt.

They claimed that conversion was as quick a light - it was not :-(

And I listened once to the pickup: no treble at all.
