I've got a Variax 300 guitar + Variax workbench. It may sound odd, but I bought it because I got fed up with retuning my acoustic.
Now I just keep it in standard tuning, and use the modelling features to pretend its in a different tuning. Tricone resonator in open G, easy; Dobro in open D, just flick a switch; D28 in DADGAD, childs play.
I mean yes it emulates Les Paul, Tele, Strat, 355, Firebird, Coral sitar and I use 'em sometimes, but I mostly use it an acoustic (thru an amp of course, well a modelling amp, modelling is the way to go. Yes its an emulation but 90% is good enough for me

Ken
