A plurality of adjustable neck strings are disposed between a nut and a neck bridge on the neck portion and a plurality of adjustable body strings are disposed between a nut and a body bridge on the body portion. A finger placement sensor array is disposed on the neck portion proximate the frets and the neck strings. A string vibration sensor is disposed on the body portion proximate the body strings.
