In my opinion one of the best digitaL FRETBOARDS midi controlers is the ARTIPHON, which is without strings
https://artiphon.com/
There are some digital guitars and midicontrollers in the market. E.g. Jammy digital guitar the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR1nhH_CHNc which DOES have strings.
having strings is more natural when one wants to play guitar or other instruments like mandoline and ukulele etc, but they are not of much help when hewant to play violin, or winds, or saxophone etc.
At the latter cases the stribgless digital fretboard is mor convenient.
I assess the new digital music instruments and software fromthe degrees of freedmon the allow to the player.
The artiphone has a significant degree of freedom, as at allows not only any tuning on the place of t he strings but also any tuning for each fret!
What no digotal fretbard allows yet till now is to set a tuning note for any frets which is not in the 12 notes of the Westerm music universe but of any frequency at all (which would include ancient Greek scales, Byzantine scales, Arabic scales, Indish scales etc.
But at least aripohone allows for sliding among the frets.

This digital fretboard can save to anyone a lot of money in buying hardware traditioal instruments.
And as it can be even tuned fret-by-fret like a diatonic harp ,panflute , zamponia, or even harmonica it is an excellent musical instrument to learn improvisation.
