I'm interested enough to try one of these. Like PennyBlack, I've been using the 500 in a covers band and recently added the Spider line6 amp to my set-up.
I'm really impressed with what these modelling guitars can do but it does take a certain leap, and an ability to dis-associate your eyes from your ears.
With the addition of alternate tunings at the flick of a switch and pitch-shifting, the feeling that "something's not right here" will be intensified and take some getting used to but I would love to get my hands on one, although my partner will need some sweetening-up before I come home with, yet another, guitar case!
I hope we get someone on who's made the plunge and bought one of these and can give us the full story.
C-flat.
