Interesting - though I can see two potential problems with this.  
First, it looks like this gizmo is intended to work with electric 
guitars and, as such, I assume it is a magnetic mechanism and will 
only work with steel strings.  Second, there is no input to plug in 
the signal coming from the synthesizer though, depending upon how this 
thing works internally, it might be possible to add an input.
