Was this guitar the realization of your "idea" mentioned in a 1987 Electronic Musician article? You said you had an idea involving a hex pickup and a way to get synthesized sounds without the inconveniences of pitch-to-MIDI tracking, but that you couldn't talk about it at the time. Or was your idea more along the lines of what is embodied today in the Roland VG-8 (a hexaphonic digital signal processor) ? If you can't respond, that's cool too. I'm just curious.
