The Jamstik Core is a full-scale electric guitar that doubles as a plug-and-play MIDI controller, letting you play, record, and produce with your favorite DAWs, synths, and virtual instruments—no special pickups, adapters, or setup required.
Built with Jamstik’s industry-leading MIDI technology, the Core delivers ultra-low-latency performance and precise note tracking, capturing every bend, slide, and vibrato naturally. It’s the most intuitive and accessible way to bring guitar expression into modern music production.
Each string’s signal is captured individually by the precision-mounted hex mag MIDI pickup. This pickup feeds data directly to Jamstik’s onboard processors, bypassing the need for bulky external devices.
Jamstik uses onboard processors built inside the back of the guitar, offloading work from your computer. Wired USB connection ensures low latency, providing unmatched responsiveness.
The Core is designed to work with any device with a USB-C input: use with your phone, tablet, or computer.
Use the included 3.5mm TRS-5-PIN MIDI adapter cable to control analog hardware.
The Core is a 3/4 sized, solid-body electric guitar with a full 22-frets, standard 25.5" scale length, single humbucker, volume control, and a 1/4" guitar output. So you can use it as your main electric guitar with amps, interfaces, guitar fx plugins, pedalboards, virtual amp simulators, etc.
You can also record analog and MIDI signals simultaneously to layer your tracks with rich analog tones and versatile digital effects. This versatility makes Jamstik perfect for live performances, studio sessions, or experimenting with hybrid sounds.
