I was a big fan of the G7 myself and have posted on this site extolling its virtues but, despite its wonderful design, the G7 does have a tendency to fall to pieces.
After the first time I was prepared to replace it, assuming I may have accidentally damaged it somehow, but the next one went the same way, so back to the old Kysers for me!

I did have a variax, which is great for noisy pubs (press a button and theres a new tuning), but for places where the audience listen, it's not really guitar-like enough.

I love my electric Variax for its gigging versatility, and had high hopes for the accoustic model but as for getting alternate tunings at the touch of a button, I find the "slider" difficult to operate and struggle to work out just where certain tuning options lay.
Touch button selection would be much more preferable!
