MIDI allows your guitar or bass to digitally interface, or communicate with other MIDI equipped devices such as computers, controllers and converters so that you can write, record and edit your music via your computer or create the sounds of virtually any other instrument or synthesized effect live or in the studio right from your instrument.

Our MIDI electronics are made by RMC and are installed within the control cavity of the instrument and triggered by piezo pickups imbedded under each saddle in your guitar or bass bridge. By using piezos as opposed to the old hex pickup mounted on the face of the instrument, the system tracks virtually instantaneously and is much more accurate. Piezos also allow us to incorporate MIDI on our multi-string instruments such as 7 and 8 string guitars and basses.

This system is compatible with any 13 pin guitar-to-MIDI converter such as the Axon AX100,  Roland VG8 or GR30 or the new Yamaha converters  and can be blended with the existing piezo and magnetic signals from the instrument.
You can now order MIDI electronics on any of our Custom Shop, New Century Series or Hollowbody instruments. The price is $400. The MIDI electronics package requires a piezo bridge which is a $300 upcharge.
