A Brit guitar mag has a preveiw of the new Line6 digital modelling guitar. It's the same concept as the Variax except it's a solid-body acoustic which models classic acoustics including various Martins & Gibsons (You'd have thought there might have been an Adamas model in there but Ovations are conspicuous by their absence) I hope they've made some improvements, I really like the Variax but I thought all of the acoustic models on the original version sucked.

Virtual Capo certainly sounds interesting. Is that built into any effects pedals or boxes that you know of?

The only other device I'm aware of that can do open-tunings without actually retuning, or has a virtual capo is the Roland VG8 digital modeller. Works with any GK2-equipped guitar

". . . Ovations are conspicuous by their absence . . "

. . . with the exception of the "chambered mahagony body".

Looks pretty interesting.
Any idea of $?

Harmony-central.com has a lengthy video with eh eh sound quality. It sounds, actually, pretty good. Better than the acoustic models on the vg-8 and 88 for sure. I think it was more like 1400....
