I have seen ads for a setup that will record vinyl records from a turntable
onto a PC thru a gizmo plugged into the USB port. If you were to find any
of the software that works with this, it may work with your guitar also.
You might need some sort of preamp between the guitar and the usb device,
but if it wants to work, you should hear _something_.
