 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! Try talking directly to the manufacturer. Instrument/amp builders
are usually really open and easy to talk to.

failing that, I remember that Streetwater Sound Inc. were a dealer.

 also, i'd be interested to learn of replacement
pickups for other
guitars in humbucker or single coil format that provide six signal outs... 

Gibson might sell you one without the attached guitar if you get a
dealer to talk directly to them

However...
Rewiring a pickup yourself is a very enlightening and satisfying excercise.
Of course I was 19 or 20 and had the time, but it really was a fun project.

Connections/cable and needing six amps was a bit of a problem, though. :/
