There are all kinds of demos on Youtube. Check it out. It was either the Variax, or start buying 30-40 guitars.

...I could seriously have some fun with one of those!

Yep (reply)

More or less. It has 20 something specific "guitars" you can select. Most are quite good, the 12 strings are downright freaky. The acoustics are pretty amazing too, as is the reso. Then it has a dozen or so different tunings. Switch to drop-D, and bam, that sucker is tuned in drop-D! It has a half-step down, open-E, open-A, Baritone, etc. etc.

Switch to the reso guitar in open-A and grab the slide! It's a lot of fun, but as bad as I need practice, I spend most of my time running it on the pickups and doing scales, runs, etc.

Is that one of the ones... (reply)

...that re-tunes itself, and has a zillion preset tones?

It's a cool geetar, with a killer top! (reply)

It's a clone of Boge's lovely Gibson, which had a lot to do with my finally deciding to go with it. The Variax is another world, guitar-wise, with an onboard computer that does everything but wash yer socks. But underneath all the whoop-de-doo, it's a fine, quality guitar with the same fat sound of the Les Paul. I never will work my way through all the electro-cheese in it, but it's fun to try.:)

Sure is a nice looking Gibson Jack. Never had one but often wondered why. I like the size of them for sure.

Fine score Boge!

By the way, I know you posted a new one last year or earlier this year that sure was a nice one.

By the way, nobody showed up with a geetar on Tom's porch this time at Clarksville. I'd left mine at the room and gone to the range Friday evening. Never went and go it.

So, Saturday night in the hospitality room I broke down and drug mine out. I struggled and worked up a sweat under that much pressure of being the ONLY one pickin'.

Next year buddy...BRING EM'!

That fine looking Gibson looks kindly familiar. Heavy buggar ain't it?

Got this one a couple of weeks ago - 1986 Martin 000-2832 "Shenandoah" model. Lots of "character" and lots of sound! Got a great deal on it too:

Got this one yesterday - 2007 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard "Honeyburst" flametop. I'm not really that into electric geetars, but I DO like the nice fat sound of a Les Paul, and this one is a like-new mint beauty. A $3900 geetar that I literally got for next to nothing, so there was no way I could pass it up:
