See other post.
The handle is good, but could be a little thinner. However, it is much better than the Variax 500. Access is one of 22 boxes. The weight is concéquent (mahogany), but it shows the sound (sustain, attack). The form is then a stratum happening everywhere.
I put 7 because they would not forget in a 10 guitar luthier or PRS (the price is not the same)!
All styles of music can be addressed. I use it for a year on an AER amp or direct console. Jazz boxes are good (I find, after setting the sound of my Ibanez PM20). You still have to keep in mind that it is digital and it lacks a little something or other in the attack and the final rendering that differentiates a guitar "normal" (and still doing a test with an A / B box). But, given the opportunity, it's great.
I use it through a PODxt Live (Special Variax cable). I do not use vibrato (or little), no problem when I use it. I set the neck and vibrato. on the other hand, it is true that the selector is a bit close to the microphone, so I do as someone else here, I change my guitar through the pod.
I put 7 as a kind guitar gibson, PRS, Fender Custom Shop would surely 10. The equivalent Variax, deserves a little less.
The acoustic sounds are worth processed with an equalizer.
Live in position, rendering going very well and is really stunning.
Some small imperfections:
* The handle could have been a bit thinner.
* The selector could have been better placed.
Assets:
* Dozens of realistic grains of guitars, editable via the computer (very easy): you can put any body with any microphones, editable its knobs, etc..
* Liaison with the PODXT live very well done: Set very consistent as to go from jazz (Birel) Scott Henderson via SRV etc. ..
Management * (via software) tunings (we do what we want to + - 12 1 / 2 tones for each string).
Conclusion: A great guitar.
