Actually I'm a G10 owner and it always looked like a cross between a
steinberger and a dustbuster to me. I believe the Beetle Quantar also had
sonar pickups.
Here's a good description of midi guitars old and new:

Not to beat this to death or anything, I find midi guitar fascinating and
well-disposed to loop music. Different strokes, though. It would be
unfortunate, in my mind, to express an opinion on this matter at the

well
as others, and it would be a downer to see bad vibes flung around. Peace?
