In a music store I played Voodoo Chile on a guitar synth in the middle 
80ies, the synth sound was played with a latency that might be something 
near to 250 msecs for the lower strings, the high strings had better 
latency. De facto playing was impossible.

As far as I remember Buckedhead played a well working guitar synth for a 
project with Bill Laswell and Bernie Worrell on one of the Praxis 
recordings in the middle 90ies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(band)
