Yup, you're right Mario. The analog to digital conversion is what makes most MIDI guitars experience more latency than other MIDI controllers.

Another advantage of this controller would be that there are no artifacts from "misfires" because your finger wasn't positioned exactly right (a symptom of using an analog instrument as a trigger, then converting the result to digital). With this controller notes would be clearly on or off, as they are with a keyboard.

and that PRICE!! Forget the guitar synth, you can't even buy the GK-3 pickup for $140

Over the years I've seen a number of low-priced "looks-like-a guitar" MIDI controllers, using various methods of triggering the notes. This one looks slicker than any of them.
