"Technological bargain!! Choices, choices."

Feature:
To power the guitar you need to use batteries, an included power supply, or if you have a pod you can use connect it direct via digi cable. It is a well built guitar(aside from frets that weren't filed well.

Quality:
Seems a bit rough but just minor things( the fret edges a bit rough or a little sharp). Solid paintjob. Still well built and holds tune well.

Value:
this is the most affordable of the models and for the price you can't beat it. Excellent value! If you need a variety of tunings and sounds, this is it.

Desirability:
The looks are plain though I don't believe they were going for something original in aesthetics. It's more about the sound variety. so it's practical and has a strat type look.

Sound:
It gives you alot of sonic options. It is hard to say if the guitars being emulated are close to what they claim (I've never heard most of these guitars alone ex. 57 L Paul) ? They sound good and the option to switch between instruments quickly is great. Some of the sounds just seem like the same guitar with the tone knob adjusted. Ths guitar gives you alot of variety for a low price.

Ease of Use:
It's pretty easy to flip to a sound and play. It is easier to edit the guitar on the computer. On line website help is available and it works well live or recording.

Support:
I haven't had the need to call them but the website is very helpful, No problems in over a year.

Overall:
As technology continues to move forward there will eventually be a better version. For now I love it for recording. Great buy. If you have too many guitars this one could take the place of a few.

Feature:

Quality:
i have read iffy reviews bout the quality of this guitar, but i dont know what they r takking about, this is excellent quality, the guitar looks very sexy, black on black looks cool, nick is smooth and feels right, decent tuners,

Value:
very affordable. try buying the 50 different guitars this thing models, get back to me with how many thousands of $$$ u spent! haha

Sound:
nice clean sound, no buzz or noise. excellent reproduction of various collector guitars, the modeling is really amazing. Love the acoustics, rics, banjo, dobros and yes, it even has a sitar! woah... even the 12 strings sound pretty good...the fenders are right on, and the various gibsons sound nice and thick as they should... all in all i am very happy to own this super crazy cool guitar! oh yea, it has presets too, for your fav sounds, sweet.... ok, yes, it uses piezo pick up, and yes, you can hear that in the mix, it is subtle, but whn ya crank it thru a nice tube amp and or with effects, it more than compensates..

Support:
i dunno so i give it a 5

Overall:
oh yea verrrry sexyyyy
