There's sort of two things here. Using a MIDI guitar as a whole new instrument, or using a guitar as a midi input device.
The first is the best and most widely used reason for owning one. The second is often because some people never get the hang of using an actual keyboard.
So you need to keep in mind what you are after. A guitar synth will never sound like a piano because of the obvious stumming 6 notes VS hitting them at once.
It is also the a clutsy way of entering drums. PAds work best.
So for me it's a live controller for synth type sounds and some wind type instruments which are played one note at a time.
It also seems to work for pad and strings sounds. I love using strings behind a slow balad live.
I found that MG software had to much latency on my system. I would not spend $100 on it was my thinking.
My conclusion is either buy a guitar like the Fender or the Godins or give the Fishman system a try. Godin is now using the Fishman on some models. I will be looking at those as I'll have to give my son his guitar back someday..
