Walt-
The only question I am qualified to answer is this one. This topic has been
beaten to death, but one I continue to love. She discovered the VG-8 before
this project and actually played it here in New Orleans for the first time
at the Jazz Fest. It is a fantastic box that kept our Joan touring long
after she might have given up the strings for brushes. I am currently having
a love hate relationship with my VG-8 (s) and am embrassing the idea of
buying a new Garrison guitar with reinforcement built in the body, so I can
learn how to do the tunings on the fly the way so many listers do so well.
There is nothing like the sound eminating right from your lap as opposed to
a speaker. If you wwant to learn more about the VG-8 and what it does you
can check out the VG-8 web site and you can do a thread search in the
archives to see alot of the past discussion on the topic.
Peace
