Jamstik Announces Newest MIDI Guitar with Classic Headstock Design

Jamstik Announces Newest MIDI Guitar with Classic Headstock Design

February 28, 2023

We're excited to announce the expansion of our MIDI Guitar line with an all-new classic headstock design, called the Jamstik Classic MIDI Guitar—combining advanced technology with top-quality materials to create a game-changing instrument for guitar enthusiasts and professionals.

New Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar

The 22-fret electric guitar has an alder wood body, roasted maple neck and fretboard, hardtail bridge, and locking tuners. The guitar features an HSS pickup configuration, 5-position toggle pickup switching, 2 tone knobs, 1 volume knob, and a standard 1/4'' out  for connecting to amps and interfaces. 

On the digital side, a precision-mounted hex MIDI pickup sends signal to powerful onboard processors, which perform algorithmic pitch analysis & MIDI conversion. MIDI-out options include a USB-C to USB-A cable or a 3.5mm TRS-MIDI cable. Users can also connect wirelessly to mobile phones and devices via Bluetooth.

Highlight Features & Specs

  • Tracking & MPE Capabilities:
    • Ultra-low latency pitch to MIDI conversion: With wired USB or TRS connection, latency ranges from 6 to 15 milliseconds.
    • Tracking: Advanced algorithms allow the Jamstik to accurately detect and translate your guitar playing nuances and articulations—including polyphonic bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, tapping, velocity, muting, palm muting, and more. Record guitar audio, track MIDI, or do both simultaneously.
    • MPE: The Studio MIDI guitars are the only guitar controllers on the market that take advantage of MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), utilizing Pitch Bend information to accurately map vibrato and MIDI CC11, Expression, to accurately track the physical decay of the guitar string—allowing for an incredibly accurate translation from the analog guitar to digital MIDI. MPE also assigns each string of the guitar to independent MIDI channels, giving each string its own line of communication with your DAW.
  • Guitar Specs
    • Size: 22 Frets, Full Size Body, 7.6lbs
    • Scale Length: 25.5"
    • Neck: C-Shape neck / 1.65” width
    • Fretboard radius: 12”
    • Pickups: HSS, 5-Position Toggle Switch
    • Knobs: 2 Tone Knobs, and 1 Volume Knob

As a class-compliant MIDI controller, the Jamstik works plug and play with any MIDI compatible DAWs, plugins, and apps. Alongside the Jamstik Creator application and plugin for Mac and PC, the Jamstik team has also released a new iOS companion app called Jamstik Control. Users can connect via Bluetooth or USB to adjust settings on the fly, tune their Studio MIDI guitar, play a variety of sounds in-app, and select from a large variety of scale and chord overlays to sharpen their skills and fretboard knowledge.
