looks like it would do an excellent job as MIDI controller... and for a lot less money and a lot less unintended notes than a Roland GK-3 pickup or Godin.

For a guitar player who wants the device only to input MIDI notes, it may well be the best bang for the buck.

But the reason RealTracks are so useful in computer based music is that they free us from the failed task of trying to make a midi guitar sound like a real guitar. Only audio recordings of a real guitar sound good enough to be on a serious recording.

For that reason I see this as a really good idea that came about 3 years too late.
