PCWorld takes a look at the Linux-based Misa Digital Guitar. "The first thing that stands out about the Misa guitar is that the traditional pickup setup that you’d expect to find in the center of the guitar is replaced by an 8.4-inch 800-by-600-pixel resolution LCD touchpad. This is somewhat similar to a guitar that MUSE lead vocalist and guitarist Matthew Bellamy uses, except that on the Misa you strike the pad to hit the notes instead of strings. The touchpad is set up on an x/y coordinate pair where you will assign your desired effects."
