Thank you Tony  to answer me :)

Already in the past I checked about Midi and Guitars ,
One problem that I discovered  at the time  was to convert the sound in data
when the guitarist play a note bended ( it seemed to be difficult  to
calculate the pitch of it properly, I think it s what you mean in number 1)
...
 I was hopping today it could be possible , more "playable "
But about "inconsistent delay" few years ago I have seen one guitarist from
"hidria spacefolk" using midi on his guitar when  he was on stage  (the
music was something very "spacey" and square) and it  was really a good
surprise !
Since this concert  I always kept in my mind that midi on guitar could be
really really great , but I never tried cause I never had the chance ... :(
...
Maybe a day I will try but I don t want to invest in something just for the
reason to try it :)
Did you tried one once ?
Anyhow thank you Tony to answer me it s well appreciated  :)
