guitar synth kits/plans

[Harry Bissell]

I'd get a hex humbucking pickup if you really want to do Guitar
Synthesis. Even if you are a very good player its real hard not to play
more than one note by accident. This will kill any pitch tracking or
octave dividers etc. Its hard just to get even one note to play well...
Guitar Center has the G-VOX for $49. Buy one and use the pickup (trash
the rest... its the American way...)

:^) Harry (who has more G-Vox guts without pickups than he knows what to
do with...)
