The Moog Guitar w/ MIDI is a fascinating piece of kit, as is the Togaman GuitarViol. But once I have the money, I'm ordering my own version of this before any other guitar - a Chris Forshage Archtop Acoustic:

Note the length of the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece. It appears to be long enough to press down on a string for koto-like pitch bends

- Thinner body

- Graphtech Hexpander on the bridge if possible
