    I think you might be talking about a guitar synth Pickup. Check out Roland.

    Yeah, it's a roland GK pickup I believe run through a roland processor. Absolutely odd to wrap your brain around what you are seeing and what you are hearing.

    It's probably a better fit on the Fender the LP has a carved top that makes installing a big flat synth pickup very tricky and ugly.

    but hey, here's an example of a GK3 on a Les Paul

    here's an example of a synthesizer you can run it through.

    Agreed that it is much easier to install on a strat or tele than a LP, though it is not impossible to do on a LP :)

    hmm...definately gotta check one out...i wonder if there is a delay in response time...I believe around 1997 I sampled a similiar synth pickup in scam cash but there was bad delay response so I was never too interested and figured I'd wait til i've been playing longer and have a "need" for it where the technology would be better...

    then again...I don't "need" anything that I want...

    (yes i do)

    hehe

    thanks for the help guys once again

    There can be some latency depending on the sound modules you use and in some instances, even the patches, but for the most part it tracks really well to your playing. It will take some adjustments to your technique, but it tends to work really well.
