Re: guitar synth opinions/experience/etc.

Hi Jim,

I've owned a G-33 for about a year now, and I'm quite pleased with it, 
especially for what it cost. Responsiveness, attack, playing feel etc are 
quite pleasant, although (as probably with any guitar synth) certain 
'guitarist' playing styles have to be adjusted, sometimes even avoided in 
order to avoid audible glitches. This differs per patch, and in essence 
comes down to learning to play the particular instrument you happen to be 
evoking.

I can't really offer comparative info from experience, but I'm happy with 
the unit. I have recently added a real synth coupled via MIDI to expand 
the 
sound palette. Some standard patches are very nice, some can happily be 
discarded to make room for your own.

If you haven't already tried, post an inquiry on the midi guitar user 
group 
on yahoo, and you'll get a vastly more diverse range of opinions.

Best,
Nic
