That's very interesting option Dave. What sort of price range are they in?

And I had wondered what the VG Strats were like for acoustic emulation because I simply don't have the space on stage to have a real acoustic sitting around for the few songs that I need one for. But I guess you answered that question. It's not like they are very cheap either.

Have any of you tried out the Line 6 Variax? Their low end models are quite inexpensive and while I don't expect the construction to be much better than a Squier Strat if they sounded ok for acoustic emulation I could probably find space for one of those.
