I came across this Wired article claiming this is what Apple would do if it made guitars:

I really hope Apple doesn't start making guitars, but I would rock one of these

If Apple made a guitar it would only work with Apple's own cables, amp, and effects "processors". And it would be made redundant every six months when the new guitar came out.

"...bamboo fretboard"
...
$5000
...
well they're following apples pricing model.
cheapest materials, maximum price.
Apple guitar wouldn't have tuners. You'd could only use their proprietary tuning, which would be controlled by firmware, and change with their daily updates.

Muse actually used to be one of my favourite bands. I still really like some of their earlier stuff actually.
But that guitar is dope. Not an iPad though, I believe it's just some kind of MIDI x-y pad.
There's also so much more going on in it:

That being said Apple would totally put an iPad in their guitar and this. 100% this:

basically this
it would also have a glass plate on the front that cracks every time you drop the guitar, and can only be repaired by a licensed Apple technician.
guitar in the OP has some neat ideas but i think the obscene price outweighs any benefits...

I figure it would be hard, white plastic, with no visible controls.

These always struck me as being pretty Apple-ish in appearance.

Aluminum unibody. (Unless we're talkin' throwback.)

They wouldn't do a guitar.
That takes too much work to play.
They'd sell keytars.
