• a touch sensitive surface that runs along at least a majority of the elongated neck;
• a strum bar disposed on the body;
• and
• an output for transmitting an electrical signal generated by the musical instrument;
• wherein activation of the strum bar generates an electrical signal at the output representing a pitch associated with a musical note, wherein activation of the touch sensitive surface generates an electrical signal at the output representing a pitch associated with a musical note corresponding to a location of activation of the touch sensitive surface, and wherein the touch sensitive surface is configured to alter the pitch represented by the electrical signal generated by activation of the touch sensitive surface in response to a user dragging a finger along the touch sensitive surface.
