Thanks to Misa Digital Instruments, the guitar no longer needs strings. Kitara, as they call it, is a digital guitar that uses an advanced multi-touch screen, a full fretboard, and a polyphonic synthesizer to create a new and custom sound to whoever controls the guitar. They have made the use of the guitar similar to that of a normal guitar including the 24 fret count, however there are a large number of features that even todays best guitarist cannot replicate. There are six buttons located on each fret instead of strings. This gives the feel of a real guitar while at the same time giving newcomers a chance to play right from the start without callused finger tips to endure the steel strings. They hope that Kitara can compete with the digital keyboard that has been the more popular of the digital instrument family and even incorporate the use of an iPad. I urge you to check out this video for a demonstration, it's only 50 seconds long.
