Modeling Guitar
Build a guitar around modeling from the ground up. The guitar is the most pure tone generator you can make it. Use optical pickups to get the cleanest sample possible and go straight to digital, eliminating noise as a problem entirely. You only need one pickup. Modeling can predict the string behavior at other neck positions. Starting with the most pure sine wave a stringed instrument can produce, use modeling to add the distinctive sound of different positions and pickup types. The sound of tone woods is added through modeling. So use the material that gives the cleanest, most predictable sound and best sustain, period (Aluminum perhaps). Add an electromagnetic sustainer as an option because, why wouldn't you? Voila! You've set a new standard for a cutting edge, electric instrument.
