Good build quality for this guitar. Logo a little more "guitar" on the head, it would be nice anyway.
Channel pleasant, good access to treble, good balance. By weight against substantial.
Please note the vibrato is out of tune quickly when it is used. May be the only true failure.
Also pulling the strings "factory" is a bit much for my taste and does not allow bends very supported.
No pickups: it's weird at first, then you get used to. Moreover, for those who wonder, the micro is in fact used a piezoelectric bridge located in the vibrato block.
That's where she excels. Modeling of several missed the guitar: Fender Telecaster (60 and 68) and Stratocaster (59), Gibson Les Paul (Standard Goldtop, custom, junior, special), ES-335 and firebird, Rickenbaker 360-12, Martin J- 200 ...
The pro are seduced as a whole and say that the blind test is often difficult. I'm not a pro and have never played the original, but it is enough for me and the variety of sounds is to go with the sound characteristics of each model (as far as I know).
Of course you lose the pass characteristics of each instrument when the gaming experience (shape of the handle, body, bridge, ...) but what versatility! And you win a few new possibilities (such as vibrato on Gibson) is pretty fun.
By modeling against the Coral sitar, Dobro, National tricone are very disappointing: in fact how to model the characteristics of the instruments so special?? I would rather find some other more conventional models instead: Fender Jaguar, Gibson SG and Flying V, Ibanez Iceman, a super-strat?
One last point: fans of his heavy, go your way. Nothing for the metal (EMG, Seymour Duncan, Bill Lawrence XL500 and others are absent).
And then we discover the Workbench: virtual workshop of luthier that allows small as we want to associate the different body microphones (type, angle, output level, positions ... even impossible), and above all fully customizable tuning of 2 octaves ! Endless possibilities to experiment! Versatile I tell you!
28 different models on a single guitar, including several essential, with a quality emulation and some high-flying new opportunities. How not to be seduced. Of course you lose the pleasure of owning each instrument with its own characteristics, but that has all these models??
In short the versatility and quality are there. An instrument adopted by many professionals as handy (a guitar instead of several, with excellent sound reproduction, it is still a luxury). Line 6 is still a success we sound with POD and Vetta.
on the other hand, friends of the heavy metal, you will be disappointed: nothing to play on that side (except through the workbench and creating his own guitar lumberjack).
As for others, they soon find that 28 guitars is not enough and that it still lacks some essential we would trade well against some models failed to model (too ambitious, too).
Note: expect further EUR 100 for the necessary line 6 Workbench! (See opinion). This is also a shame (and crass commercial) to propose an option and not systematic, as it transcends the instrument.
