It is a digital guitar, it has a light faraday cage over the pick-up to cover his hand with out a glove.  the fretboard is a keyboard which can be played with a glove on and it has no strings. It is opticly isolated and has a fiber optic cable going to the control panels.

Maybe the Arc Attack guys (or their designers) can chip in here..

But if you had a wireless pickup, the guitar can be at the same 
potential as you.  I do think there is some trick to how you deal with 
your fingers on the fretboard.  I'm not a guitar player, but somehow, it 
seems that even thin conductive gloves would get in the way.  Maybe not..
Making the guitar itself conductive is straightforward (copper foil tape 
if nothing else).
