I own  a Godin Grand Concert, but I am still searching for normal classical guitar with hex pickup added.  I saw a Ramirez offering, any other makers?

I wouldn't call the carbon fiber Blackbird Rider Nylon traditional but it's not a solid body. Here's a thread discussing the guitar:

Here's a video with the Blackbird plugged into a VG-99:

On a custom order basis, Breedlove can add RMC Piezo pickups to their top models, like the Bossa Nova

 >:(  About that Blackbird video:  I HATE when demonstrators completely miss-represent their own products.  He keeps talking like if you buy that fugly Blackbird thing, then you'll have those sounds.  And there is NOTHING MIDI about this.  All the sounds are cosm based only - so he's lying about the no-latency triggering.  Everything he's showing is coming from the Roland VG99, not his guitar.  The guitar simply has a hex out from it's pickup that driving a preamp, and then into the VG.  Many other guitars can do exactly the same thing - bypassing the expensive and clumsy box in the middle.  Anything having to do with MIDI would be up to the VG or whatever GK ready device it's plugged into.  He's totally lying here.

Of course YOU guys knew that already, but how many other potential guitar buyers would.....?

Ramírez has the RMC system available as an option to many of its models.   



Therea are many nylon-string hex guitars out there, but not that many traditional, classical guitars.  It seems like a custom order is the way to get one besides the Ramirez line.

An RMC piezo hex pickup can be added to any classical guitar

I suggest you contact your local RMC pickup installer.

I installed a GraphTech Ghost MIDI system in my Yamaha classical guitar.  The tracking and the sound are wonderful.  It's my favorite MIDI guitar controller now (because of the nylon strings).  About a days work to install it.  It was a little scary, but everything worked out fine.  Just make sure to plan everything, especially drilling, in advance and check three times before committing.  I am no electrician, and it wasn't so hard.  I would recommend this to everyone.  It was only about $250 to do it myself.  Unbelievable deal for the musical tool you end up with.

I Know a very good brand that makes all their guitars in Spain. They are called CAMPS guitars. I have one without the RMC system but you can get one with 13 pin out here:
