I like the VXT better because it is all in one system with one cable, not two complete systems in one guitar that require two outputs. But I'm not a professional, just a wanker who plays weakly at the LadyFish. | ||

I haven't been able to get my hands on the VXT yet, but I'm pretty sure since it is an "O" that it is superior. Are there more than one version of it? (i.e., deluxe model?) | ||

Joined: September 2004 Posts: 777 Location: East Wenatchee, WA | I finally got to play a VXT a month or so ago. Beautiful instrument in everyway. My only problem was....the "acoustic sound" really was not as good as I had hoped it would be. My Carvin DC400P (Fishman Piezo I think) was similar in sound at the same EQ's and had a neck more to my liking. Still searching for that perfect "all-in-one" guitar. Maybe the answer is the other direction....stick a humbucker into an Adamas? Hmmmmmmmm. :D :D | ||
