Under VR2.0 things are bloody expensive to buy. But if you build up
your own deck it can be dirt cheap. I'm running a decker, who started
without a deck, and built one in game. The decks built into a guitar,
might not be realistic, but it's very interesting...

I don't see why you couldn't do it esp pure cybernetic, ok you might
upset the guitars sound somewhat but just make it electric with a
synth making the sound (your deck should be able to run the program
no problem), might get a bit heavy not should be workable.

I am yet to run a deck not on pure DNI, that's not the problem.
It's sneaking around on runs with this guitar strapped to my back ;>
