I probably can't explain it well enough in technical terms, but Fran is on the money with "Real Guitar". It adds realistic slides, mutes, picking and fret sounds that can be adjusted by volume and velocity. There are several modes available in RG and every effect can be adjusted to your playing to add a real live feel.

I'm pretty sure that Musiclabs has a 14 day working demo available, so you can D/L it and then you can decide. My Motif ES has nothing even close in comparison. Other very good vst's to consider are Plugsounds Guitar module and Dasample ElectroAcoustic, ( the latter has a 7 day fully working demo ).

Back to topic... the demo sounds nice... I don't care much for`some of the lead instruments vs what is available elsewhere. particularly the sax and horn. I like my 10+ year old VL modeling board a lot better, at least if I am looking for "realism". Some of the other sounds are pretty danged good though. I would have to think that T2 would make for a very nice live board, but my guess is that it will still not be comparable to high quality modules and samples for studio users.
