Damn that thing is awesome. Second we have a MIDI guitar.

"Up for auction 1 X STEPP DGX Midi controler guitar. This model is from 1987 and is in MINT CONDITION. The STEPP DGX was far ahead of it's time as was a lot of the midi technology of the 80's. It is a very versatile instrument, each string can be assigned it's own parameters and midi channel, the guitar can be sculpted to your own touch. The fretboard can be switch on to remember and sustain hammered on notes or chords whilst playing other parts with your right hand. The 2 foot pedals can be assigned to a wide variety of functions."
