Hello,
Hmmmm....I got to agree a bit with you. Yesterday when visiting a
musician friend of mine who plays in professional band, I was shown the
Line 6 guitar EFX, wow nice effects in one small box. Since he does
studio work from time to time, he said it was great to work with and
very time saving (studio time is not very cheap, so you don't want to
mess around with)
He also claims that he can copy sounds from amps like Mesa and Fender
and that it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
I must say it is one of the ugliest looking pieces of equipment I ever
saw, but it works great, so I'm not against it. If I ever make it into a
studio to record some stuff, I think I will use the unit.
I think it's the same with the guitar, Ugly as Hell, but who knows what
sounds may come out of it. After all there is a huge difference in
playing live and recording.
Anyway, so far I have concluded that mixing old tech with new tech
brings interesting results. If I got the chance to test drive the new
Line 6 "wonder" guitar, I certainly will. Buying one is a whole
different story.
I am a big fan of all sorts of Surf music, first and second wave, I like
to play it, and it doesn't matter what material I use as long as I like
the sound, I'm satisfied.

Okay, all you technophobes who don't think it's a worthy guitar unless
made by Fender before 1968, a disclaimer: I drive a '73 Triumph Stag,
eat off a vintage '50s dinette table, and my house is 100 years old.
So I ain't exactly a "new adopter" when it comes to technology. (I
don't even have a cell phone yet!)<p>
But I checked out that new Line 6 modeling guitar, the "VariAx" and
came away thinking it was pretty nifty...and maybe even worth buying.
Sure, I'll keep my Fender Strat, my ES-335, and my tube amp. But I
think it would be neat to have a cheap little guitar that models so
many different classic guitars, even if it only does a half-assed
imitation.<p>I think it would be especially fun if it modeled a Jag,
Jazzmaster, a Danny, Mosrite and an old Ricky. Anybody wanna pick a
fight?
