Right,the top guys are making enough that they don't need to worry about it and the little guy is still getting _something_. To get more on topic,does anyone know which midi guitar "pickup" is currently state of the art? and is it any faster changing than my early Fender/Casio crap ?

You'd be better of mail-ordering one... they're only about $30, and often come with sequencer software packages. As I understand it, there's more to building one than simply jumpering wires... there are some isolators and other parts as well. C-ya!
