You would have to have six separate channels of signal processing (e.g. You would have to use a lot of signal processing to try to make these pickups sound like a conventional magnetic pickup on a conventional electric guitar. Therefore the sound these pickups produce is of the "acoustic" variety. Note however that all of the systems described above use piezo-electric pickups, the same kind of pickup used in under-saddle bridges for acoustic guitars. If you had a Brian Moore guitar you'd still need a hexaphonic preamplifier with six audio outputs to plug it into. Baggs or RMC piezo bridge pickups these days, but they should all work about the same. I don't know if Brian Moore is using Fishman, Graph Tech, L. ĭiagram of the six-channel "breakout box" for the original Gibson Robot Guitar with its hexaphonic piezoelectric bridge pickupīrian Moore Guitars make electric guitars that come from the factory with a hexaphonic piezoelectric bridge pickup, and a Roland DIN-13 connector installed internally. One model was called the Dusk Tiger the original model in the line was called the "Gibson Robot Guitar". Gibson also used to make a Les Paul guitar with a hexaphonic piezoelectric bridge pickup and similar capability, sold with an outboard preamplifier and an external interface box with six separate analog audio output channels. The Keith McMillen company used to market the StringPort, a six-channel preamp and analog-to-digital converter that could accept the "Roland-ready" DIN-13 pin output from a hexaphonic piezoelectric bridge pickup, convert all six discreet channels of analog signal into digital audio, and send them all to a DAW in a computer for processing or recording each string's signal on its own separate track. Graph Tech Ghost internal preamplifiers and wiring kit for their bridge pickup system
Graph Tech Ghost piezoelectric bridge elements to be installed in a Stratocaster-style bridge (These kinds of pickups also are "Roland-compatible" and can use the Roland DIN-13 output jack like the Roland GK-3 you mentioned.) Each of these require purchasing a bridge-and saddle assembly, and wiring each of the six separate bridge piezo pickups into an internal or external six-channel preamplifier. The Fishman PowerBridge offers this, as does the Graph Tech Ghost system. These systems are in the form of six separate piezoelectric pickups installed within an electric guitar bridge - with a separate pickup under each of the six independent bridge saddles. You can purchase hexaphonic pickup systems from Fishman and Graph Tech that might be capable of being wired up according to your idea. There were a couple of commercial products offered in the last ten years or so by Gibson Guitars and Keith McMillen Instruments that did exactly what you are looking for, but they are no longer being sold. These are called hexaphonic pickups, meaning "six separate sounds" or six audio signals, one for each string by itself. It has been done, in several different pickup designs.
