Re: Kitara MIDI guitar

I guess they are coming out with just a controller version for $300.  I have 
similar concerns.  I'm not sure if the buttons would do it for me.
Does anyone make a MIDI ready guitar with actual strings?   Seems like 
Roland has totally dominated the market with the hex pickup and their 
standalone units, and I see that the Axon stuff is off the market now.
I suppose I could by one of those old Roland GI-20 converter and a hex 
pickup. But those things are apparently slow as hell.

I agree-I couldn't justify 900 bucks for that-I bet you we'll see an iPad 
audio interface shaped like that in the next year or so, especially if this 
takes off. I could see 300 bucks max (it still has midi I/o and plenty of 
triggers)  for that shell and 9.99 for the app, but 900 is a little 
expensive for what you are getting.
