Zivix Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar Matte Mint Electric Guitar

Description

GeneralWhile MIDI-guitars have existed for a while, with the Studio MIDI Guitar, Zivix take the concept and push it to a completely new level. The headless Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar is a 24-fret slice of ingenuity kitted out with a built-in HEX MIDI pickup that converts MIDI data to audio in real-time. But this guitar is no mere MIDI instrument, it’s a fully-fledged electric guitar loaded with a pair of humbuckers, a coil-split switch that can be toggled to unleash single-coil sound, a three-way pickup switch for combining or isolating the neck and bridge pickups, and a standard jack output port. This is left-handed edition.

Fast Tracking & USB Connection + Charging

The high-speed HEX pickup accurately tracks the output of the guitar, analysing the pitch and immediately converting the result into MIDI. Since a USB-C port has also been fitted, this future-thinking guitar can be directly linked to a laptop or desktop computer to not only send and receive MIDI data, but to recharge the active electrics. Taking things even further, this original Jamstik design features a 3.5mm mini-jack TRS-MIDI port, Bluetooth functionality, and comes including Mac and Windows compatible Jamstik Creator software, which can be used as a standalone programme or as a DAW plug-in.

A Compact Yet Fully-Grown Instrument

The headless design not only makes this model nice and compact but reduces the scale length to just 32.5 inches (which is around three-quarters of the length of most standard electric guitars), making for a comfortable and manageable gigging or studio tool that even provides an integrated plectrum clip. The Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar is available in black, white, blue, and orange, and there’s a left-handed edition in black. Each model has a mahogany body fitted with a snug C-profile neck and a rosewood fretboard, completing one of the most flexible and adaptable six-strings on the face of planet Earth.

The Jamstick Studio Buzz

Since its release, the Jamstik Studio has received widespread acclaim, including a glowing review from Guitar.com, who described this ground-breaking model as “the most convincing integration of MIDIs boundless control possibilities and a true, no-sacrifices-made electric guitar”. Music Tech is just as impressed, who states that the Jamstik Studio is an “an unbelievable instrument”. This innovative guitar was also awarded Best in Show at NAAM by SB&O magazine in their article, ‘Best Tools for Schools’.
