Tank you, Michael, that was interesting. Regarding the tunings, does the Variax allow micro tonal tunings? Or is it just like the GR-55 doing DADGAD, bariton, drop-D, Nashville toning and all that stuff? I missed to post the correct name for Rolands new guitar that has the GR55 circuitry buit-in, it is called "V-Guitar". Info here: http://www.roland.com/V-Guitar/ Oh, and thanks to M's post I now recall that Luis was specifically asking concerning fake acoustic sounds - so I'd like to add that the acoustic guitar sounds of the GR-55 sounds rather bad to me. For a "quick acoustic cheat sound" on stage I'd rather use a guitar like the Epiphone Ultra 2 that has an extra Nanomag Shadow mic in the neck besides the two mandatory humbuckers (and a separate output for the acoustic mic).
