I have one and I love it but i cant help to think I am playing a gimmicky guitar lol. It looks great...feels good and sounds great but in the back of my mind..im always thinking what if the CPU dies and I am left now with a good but expensive les Paul type guitar.
I do use the modeling quite a bit Live and not the magnetic pickups. In fact, i have yet to use the magentic pickups Live. Just in practice at home. I like how there is zero noise when using the modeling and i find myself drawn to the Strat and Gretch model and occasional the Les Paul.. I also like the acoustic models.
But still....it dosent feel normal lol. I dont even use a guitar cable...i use an ethernet cable....i use the alternate tuning only to make a B into a C once ina while...when you go down a whole step..it starts to sound a little weird but 1/2 step is fine. But then i think how embarrassing it would be if i change the tuning and the computer died...i would be screwed. I am always nervous using the thing but in the end...I love it...but it just dosent feel right sometimes
Here is a picture of it
