The challenge is to produce a mechatronic device capable of speedy and reliable note selection, string actuation, string damping and expressiveness. This paper investigates the design considerations and development of the stringed chordophone and specifically the guitar. However, factors such as the ubiquitous acceptance of the microcontroller led to a resurgent interest in this field. Initially peaking around the Industrial Revolution, traditional automated musical production devices went into a steep decline with the arrival of the phonograph. As technology developed, so too did the desire for this sound production to become automated. Since the earliest times, humans have sought the ability to produce rhythms and tones using devices external to the human body.
