Spliffrd@inch.com midi guitar neck - difficult to achieve.

We tried many experiments with microtonal midi guitars in the mid 80's
in London, and despite spending mucho dinero found big problems.
We used various pitch tracking systems and fretted with 19 notes per
octave, yet the pitch tracking would not follow the pitchbend fast
enough, and tended to jump to the nearest 12tET, despite the fact that
we used separate channels, and "pickups" for each string.
The other problem is that even if you get it working "perfectly" you get
caught by the midi pitch granularity problem.
i.e. present midi pitchbend, will only play to the nearest 64th of a
semitone, (unless you have solved the tuning dump problem which we have
been working on for "yonks".)
Please let me know how you succeed, as guitar is my principal
instrument, and it would be ideal as an interface, instead of recording
guitar samples and then manipulating them with sequencers, as we have
done to produce commercial recordings.
BTW You can find lotsa info on microtonal guitar fretting on our site.
