RE: Guitar MIDI pickups

[Edwin Hurwitz <edwin@indra.com>]

Is there a problem with using the MIDI out on the Roland floor unit? 
Or, you could do what Bob Weir did: get a Casio body and put a 
Modulus Graphite neck on it! He had a bunch of these in the 90s. He 
even had a way to do it all wireless.
