The advantages of the digital guitar come down to sound and control. For 70 years, the electric guitar pickup has translated string vibrations into an electrical signal fed to an amplifier. The player can control the tone and volume, but output is limited to a mono or stereo signal. The signal itself is noisy by today's standards, and stray frequencies often cause an annoying hum.
"Some of the guitar pickups popular today go back to the 1920s," Mr. Juszkiewicz said. "We have not changed a lot in terms of the instrument."
The digital guitar uses computer chips to clean up the signal — Mr. Juszkiewicz describes the new sound as traditional but "on steroids."
It also allows the player to control the sound of each string. For example, the guitarist can have a heavy metal crunch on the low strings, medium distortion on the middle strings and a clean sound on the high strings.
