I'm still using the good old Roland GK MIDI guitar pickup, mounted on an 80's era MIJ Strat that was hangin' around.

With the GK series pickups, you must also have a way to convert the pickup's output to MIDI data, it does not output MIDI data directly. Good news is that any one of the older Roland guitar synths can be used for that purpose, just ignore using its internal sounds. These can be picked up on ebay for very reasonable prices.

If you want a really nice dedicated MIDI guitar, check out Godin's offerings. Mmmm...
