The Jamstik Studiogets our pick for the best premium option. At just under $800, you’d expect to get an excellent product, and fortunately — you do. Unlike most options on this list, the Jamstik Studio is modeled exactly like a standard headless, 24-fret electric guitar. While not 100% perfect, the MIDI responsiveness is one of the best we’ve tried...
Editor’s note as of November 2022: Jammy issued a statement that due to financial issues and the situation in Ukraine, they are having production issues. While we think the Jammy guitar is a fantastic product, we would exert caution before ordering. We got our hands on this guitar controller a while back (full Jammy review here), and were impressed...

This is a great option for guitar players who may not want to invest in a full MIDI unit and would prefer the feel of a heavy chunk of wood over their shoulders! The other bonus is this could be used for creating some really cool sou...
This Roland GK-3 is a good option for those wanting to take advantage of realistic guitar tones while also getting into experimental synth patches. MIDI is often associated with sounds that can’t be made with a guitar, so the Roland GK-3 is great for those wanting to have access to both worlds. The pickup system fixes to your guitar just between th...
Guitar Wing (by Livid Instruments) is a bit of a wildcard on this list.It’s not a MIDI controller in the same way as the other options. However, the unit is an effects processor of sorts, interacting with multiple parameters as you play your guitar to create some amazing sounding effects. On the Guitar Wing, you’ll find a series of buttons and cont...
