One more quick note regarding the Roland set-up. (this really should be on the other forum but since Cotten asked me about it . . .)
If some of your remember Joni Mitchell, there was an article of how she got back into performing because of the VG-88. You see, with the VG-88 does all sorts of different tunings. You can set it up for whatever - and you don't actually have to change the tuning on your guitar. This wouldn't work quite right with the acoustic set up but works great for Electric as you can't really hear the normal string sounds. You can dial up an acoustic guitar, then choose the body shape, then choose pickup or miked, then choose effects or whatever.

As many of you know, Joni did all sorts of weird tunings. She used to have to bring an arsenol of guitars with her all tuned differently. Now, she plays one guitar and hits the footswitch. It really does work well! I love that thing!
