Pole pieces help

[amodernmyth]

Ive been asked by someone about possibly making a guitar with 6 individual 6 pole pieces, each running to 6 outputs which run into 6 distortion units.
Is this possible and if so how would i go about it?

Many thanks

Re: Pole pieces help

The biggest issue is going to be isolation. The magnetic fields will over lap some and you wont wind up with the vibration from one string interacting with each pole piece. A good question at this point would be... Why? What are you trying to accomplish there might be a better way of going about it than using 6 pickups and having 6 guitar chords dangling out of your guitar. Something as simple as high and low passing the signal from the guitar then separating them to different amps with different distortion may accomplish what your after much easier without having to reinvent the wheel.

Re: Pole pieces help

The hexaphonic pickups and transducers employed by Roland, Fishman and others put out six discreet signals. These can be used to drive a VG digital modelling sound module. (This is what I do with the Melody strings of my Chapman Stick. Literally, a shred Stick!​)

This is not exactly what the OP requested but it is pretty close.

Thanks for the help, do you know of another way or similar that could accomplish what ive been asked?
I have no idea why they requested it to be quite honest. I thought id ask around first to see if such a thing is possible or something very similar, then reply to the guy after.

Stick Enterprises calls the MIDI-fied version The Grid.

You could be right.
