Very good quality & design, great sounds. I only hoped that I could change each string volume individually in the software (for now we can only decrease the sensitivity in the software but not the volume) But I'm sure that great improvements will come !

While I’m getting better at keyboards, at heart I’m a guitar player, and there are times when I just want to express myself with keyboard sounds in a way that is only possible with how I play guitar. Enter this cool, little device. I’ve had a blast triggering everything from my Roland and Korgs to my beloved Mellotron! I’ve also found it to be a high-quality, very playable travel guitar that I use for writing/practice while on the road. My only wish for future revisions are a trem system, and a tone control for the traditional humbuckers. Customer care has been outstanding throughout.

I am absolutely in love with my Jamstik!! This is what I have been looking for for the longest time. I knew there were options for midi guitar interfaces, but this has surpassed my expectations. Thank you!!!

I’m a long time guitarist and I’ve always wanted to be able to transcribe what I’m playing on guitar into MIDI but it would take way too long to use a keyboard controller. jamstick has given me the opportunity to quickly get my guitar technique into midi data

The Jamstik is, pound for pound, the most flexible, portable, inspiring, solidly constructed, well-designed hardware-software instrument I've ever played. I spent over 15 years trying to turn the guitar and pedalboard into something that could open up like a tone cornucopia and now I have to take all of that and set it to one side to make room for all of the new possibilities this much more "have guitar will travel" package opens up. Where was this thing when I was touring Australia with 100 pounds of equipment? I love that I can just sling this thing and my iPad over my shoulder and walk around with what would have taken up a ROOM in 1980.

I've been playing guitar for 20 years.. and this thing is just amazing for studio and production work... don't hesitate or look elsewhere!

It's really fun. Just buy it.

The setup from the factory wasn't so great. The midi pickup was too far from the strings for good tracking and the action was very high. It took about 45 minutes to correct everything after which I was really quite impressed. The included soft synth needs work, I don't use it.

It’s fun, but it doesn’t track my movements all of the time… quieter plucks don’t register and I’m having to ‘go easy’ on my riffs because many of them don’t translate well to midi. Feels like more of a learning curve than I expected for being able to smoothly articulate most kinds of synth patches and non-guitar sounds.

What I was hoping for when purchasing was a solid midi controller so i could have more space on my desk by eliminating a usb midi keyboard. WHat I got instead was an awesome guitar that can track midi. love it enough that I sold my 1980's Fernandes Telecaster that I have been using in bands on tour in the studio etc, basically my identity, my main axe....since the late 90's. The smaller form factor and gig bag allows me to leave it out in the studio on a stand (i have some clumsy cats) and always had to put my guitar in a case after use. The single coil / humbucker switch allows me to get the sound I would out of two guitars without unplugging. On to the midi: The usb-c cable can go directly into an ipad pro, use a powered usb-c hub and connect more sequencing like the op-z, app routing options with AUM or Audiobus apps as well as daws like cubasis and auria pro are just the beginning. I have used bluetooth midi from the op-z while using trs or usb-c midi with the guitar. I have used an iconnectmidi4+ with an ipad to allow the guitar to control more synths like the behringer k-2, while controlling synth apps on the ipad (plan on using the afx station next). The main thing in this rambling review is that there are 3 options for bluetooth and 6 pickup options for guitar that connect and track wonderfully. I have not even TOUCHED on mpe or expression that adds a whole new level to midi! *some ipad apps react differently but with midi learn you can set the parameters. In conclusion this guitar rocks and works out of the box, with some settings adjusted and tweaks here and there you will be very happy. I did an unboxing video and plan to do a follow soon https://youtu.be/Em2L6V1ZFhs feel free to ask me questions.

Ever since I started making music I’ve wanted to have a synth for my guitar because I am so much more comfortable on a guitar than piano. I have used software plugins, and synth pedals into amps that plug into my computer, NONE of them work like this! This is genuinely a great purchase, the design of 6 pickups getting each action of each string is the only kind I’ve seen like that. I’ve tried and researched them all, THIS IS THE ONE.

This is an awesome tool for electronic music. I absolutely love it. It struggles with chords and when you play too fast. But these can be overcome. I would not let that deter you. As a guitar player I feel like this will completely expand my capabilities.

Excellent Guitar

I have used many guitar-midi solutions since the early 90's - both for live and recording work. The Jamstik Studio has removed all of my frustrations (false notes, latency, set-up and programming etc.) leaving more room for spontaneity and creativity. It is also a dam good guitar as well! As for service, being based in the UK I was resigned to a long delivery and customs hassle. This was NOT the case. From order to delivery to my door it was > 5 days without any issues. And the added gig bag and strap locks were a welcome bonus. I even got my fashion adviser (other half) to choose a matching strap - it's great to have the buy in from the boss! I am working with Sonar and have many different plug-ins and external hardware - I haven't tripped over an issue yet and now don't expect to. Overall this is an awesome beast - keep up the good work.

Innovative, great alternative for MIDI controller. Plays well as a regular guitar. Would be great if USB-C cable was angled so as not to damage port on the guitar.

I love this guitar, it sounds fantastic and is the hub of my low-key home studio. With it being a real guitar and not just a MIDI keyboard it’s now replaced my main guitar. I love the look and feel of it, a lot higher quality than I originally anticipated and genuinely feels fantastic. The neck size is perfect for me and feels like a fender sized neck, I really love the pick holder in the “head” of the guitar too. I justified this guitar because I knew it would effectively replace my main electric and I’m so happy I made the jump to get it. The customer service was a 10/10 too, very fast replies and helpful service. Genuinely would recommend.
