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...
The Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1is another guitar/MIDI controller hybrid but one of the more unique on the market at the minute. When you think of MIDI guitars, you probably think about strumming strings (or something that tries to closely emulate an actual guitar). The INSTRUMENT 1, however, is more than just a guitar MIDI controller and allows you to st...
The Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2 is a polyphonic MIDI controller that, much like some of the other guitar MIDI options in this list, converts a guitar signal to MIDI in real time. However, one of the unique aspects of the MIDI Guitar 2 is it’s entirely software-based! It can create many sounds via MIDI without needing extra hardware. That means you don...
The Fishman Tripleplay is a small unit that turns your guitar into a MIDI instrument by fixing to the guitar’s body. 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...
You can instantly change the sound of your guitar from a Strat to a nylon or steel acoustic, or even a bass without the laggy delay and glitchy pitch anomalies that a software guitar VI triggered by MIDI would have.

From early synth modules built into guitars and the inception of MIDI to today’s powerful ZEN-Core technology and serial GK system, the guitar synthesizer has evolved thanks to tireless innovation and tech advancements by BOSS and parent company Roland.
Throw in MIDI outputs to drive computer software and external synthesizers, a simple looper, USB-audio & MIDI interface and audio file playback and you have an awful lot of firepower in a compact floor pedal unit.
