hi *!
a guitarist friend of mine is looking for ways to get six separate
outputs from a guitar, one for each string. he has a godin multiac,
which comes with a 13-pin connector meant for the roland gr series
guitar synthesizers - i wonder what would be involved in using the
signal directly? if you've tried this, or know someone who has, please
holler!
next time i can get my hands on the instrument, i'll try some hi-z
preamps (i guess it's a more or less raw piezo output)...
also, i'd be interested to learn of replacement pickups for other
guitars in humbucker or single coil format that provide six signal outs...
best,
jörn
Look for hexaphonic pickup on your search engine of choice :)
They've been around for a while now.
The more sophisticated ones are dual coil - the second coil being an exciter
(fed from the first via a local amplifier) and can give incredible sustain
effects.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
