NAMM 2020: Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar
Finally a guitar MIDI controller that doesn’t look like Dr Who’s cricket bat! The new Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar is a regular headless guitar with a built in MIDI controller.
Studio MIDI Guitar
The new Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar is almost pretty to look at. It has all the regular features you would expect from a headless-style guitar. The guitar has a 25.5″ scale length and 24 frets. It comes with two splittable humbuckers and聽a nice fat bridge with tuners (it is headless remember). The guitar’s聽Hexaphonic MIDI pickup carries out MIDI responsibilities.
The big advantage with this model is that it can function like a normal guitar when you don’t want to use its MIDI capabilities.
VST
Together with the in-house聽Jamstik VST聽plug-in, the聽Studio MIDI Guitar聽can also be connected to a computer via a聽mini jack cable, USB-C or Bluetooth; however the VST is not mandatory.聽Normal MIDI data is sent (probably CC) and any recipient should be able to use the data.
I think it’s a pretty cool idea.聽Above all, it finally looks like a guitar and not a ‘stick with strings’ for once. The model has been floating around since last summer, but is now finally available to pre-order at an introductory price, which will then go up to around a grand.
RRP – USD 749 pre-order special price
