Hey don't get me wrong I do love the advantages of digital technology ... my career is computer programming in video games after all. And even though I think digital guitars have no lasting value ... I did pick up a very cheap Line 6 Variax 300 guitar that is extremely convenient onstage for switching between acoustic and electric models where using the real instruments is impossible on the tiny stages where the 6 piece band I play with has to squeeze onto. I really don't care it has no future value because it is invaluable in the present.
