RE: Guitar MIDI pickups

[mike feeney <feeneymike@yahoo.com>]

Well, I don't have anything yet - I'm just looking at
the moment.

On eBay, there are a couple of Casio midi guitars with
5-pin midi out jacks right on the guitar that (I
believe) have the converter right on board.  So, I
assumed one could buy a complete pickup/converter that
just installed on the guitar itself.  The search goes
on... 

Thanks for the help.
Mike
