This is pretty amazing. There have only been a total of five Charlie Lab posts on the site including this one. Two of them went up today. What are the odds of that? See the Charlie Lab channel below for the others including a video.

Details in the auction from this Sound on Sound article.

"Italian company Charlie Lab's Digitar aims to provide a cheap and easy way to add guitar-like textures to MIDI-based music, without the need to buy an expensive and cumbersome dedicated MIDI guitar synth. For a start, the Digitar isn't actually a guitar: it's a compact and sturdy belt-mounted box, worn around the waist and equipped with six thick wires -- 'strings' -- which you play pretty much as you would the strings on a guitar. Power and MIDI connections are provided by an external box which is connected to the Digitar by a lead. Chords of up to four notes are played on a MIDI keyboard, the connected Digitar interprets these into a six-note guitar chord, you strum the strings and the result is sent to the MIDI Out to play the guitar sound of your choice -- all of this, of course, happens simultaneously. String movement, detected by fast optical sensors, produces no audible delays or glitches...'
