There is some sound but as Marian had already responded the amplified sound drowns it out. This is why it won't work with an acoustic guitar. There is also some sort of glitch in the software that sometimes reproduces the sound audibly, but I have not had that problem lately. I have purchased another Parker guitar that I am going to install the new RMC Piezo pick up which should solve all by complaints about the VG. I have always hated the wart thingy on the Roland GK-2A pick up and this will get that out of my way. The only thing the VG system really lacks for me is that it is not that box guitar thing in your lap with the sound eminating from right there. There is no feeling in the world like that.
