OT MIDI Guitar/Controllers

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

I've experimented with midi guitars for a few years now, and never really 
been
happy.  OK, OK, I'll admit my midi guitars were the Real Casio, the 
cheeseball
plastic Casio and the Ibanez IMG.

I've heard the Ztar name being thrown around every now and again.  On 
paper, the
idea seems great.  Is it worth it, or has hex pickup-midi technology 
gotten good
enough in the last decade to think about installing one on my Steinberger? 
 If
so, which is the "best".  I really wouldn't mind a total departure from 
guitar
sounds, if the tracking was great and the response to subtle technique was 
good.
