Are these older pieces of work preferred over the digital guitar?
I know alot of 80's modern jazz (at the time) musicians used these as did Allan Holdsworth off his '86 album (forgot the name.)

You can't compare a synthesizer to a digital guitar...
Two completely different things...

the old SynthAxe made no acoustic sounds of it's own. it may even just be a MIDI controller, i don't remember if it had onboard synth or not.

Andy Summers messed around with them when he was in The Police. There's an old video called Police Around The World from 1980 and he's using one during some of the live sets.

Used to own one....I think it was Christopher Cross's before I bought it, from a guy in the UK who was virtually the only source for these things 14 years ago.
It was unwieldy, unreliable and, when it was working properly, quite utterly amazing. The keys on it were unbelievably useful as an alternate to picking (which was accurate, but felt dead, as the picking strings weren't connected to the fretting strings).
No onboard sounds, purely Midi. Bloody big set of flight cases and stands (separate cases for the instrument and control units), just about zero gigging potential.
Awesome, irritating and irreplaceable, I wish i still had it..
