The problem is that de "original" sound of an electrical stringed instrument is formed by the addition of the imperfections that the aplification systems produce, then if you purge all this imperfections and process each string separately you obtain a electronic keyboard with the shape of a guitar. ?Is that what guitar players (or bass players, etc) want? Sometimes yes, but sometimes they want that dirty and imperfect analog sound, beacause our ears are analog too...

What do they say about this after playing thru ... If its conveience because of digital signal, then that can be done at processor level too, when the analog signal goes to the processor like Line 6 POD, where you can take teh digital signal out via USB. In any case, analog equipment holds a special place in most musicians heart, I dont think you can take that away :p hehehe
