Hi. Forgive me for not reading the whole thread and therefore not knowing if this helps the orriginal question, but from a quick glance at the thread I thought I'd volunteer that I tried a few midi guitars and briefly a magnetic roland pickup with the Axon 100 and was disappointed by all. Then I heard that RMC Piezo pickups were the best, most playable solution... had them professionally installed on my electric and I am VERY satisfied with the results. Amazing actually. Very little adjustment to playing, very predictable. Getting the RMC pickups was a little weird... he's just a dude in Berkley I think, not much for business, so I called music store very close to his location (yahoo yellow pages search) and person from the music store actually rode his bike over to RMC to get it and mail it himself because he said otherwise it takes forever. Anyway, that's my story regarding midi guitar. Hope it helps someone!
