Interesting. OK. I feel ya...

Do you like the sound in other artists' hands? I gotta point right to SRV or Mark Knopfler, you know?

I feel the same way. I love me some Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi, Stevie, etc. and I'll play a Strat IF I'm trying to reproduce their stuff. But other truth be told I really can't stand a Strat in my own hands for the music that I enjoy playing the most.

I can't stand anything but a Strat in my hands. I have played and bought several Les Paul and PRS style guitars and have returned them all. I just need a Strat.

I'm that way with PRS. I know... GASP!, Mike's a lunatic

No, but for reals, I have yet to be blown away by a PRS sound from me. I've since stopped trying. However, the Mira might get me to try again. I love the build concept enough. Maybe enough to pull one off a wall. They are not just another body style.

Anyway, I'm glad someone else has this realization. Maybe it IS in the fingers! Whatever it is.

it's interesting even though the tone is in the fingers, everyone seems to find guitars they're comfortable with. I definitely feel the most comfortable on my MIJ LP, and recently on strats.

If you go the x3l route, just plan to spend a lot of time figuring it out. I tried figuring the one at church out and ended up just using my pedal board into the amp emulator.
I tried the GT2 and used it for a couple of sundays.
It's a lot better than my rig straight in to the house without the GT2, But.....
It's still not a mic'd amp tone. Not really that close. Maybe I'm a cork sniffer, but i know what I like and that's not it.

I heard from a very reliable source in the biz that the X3 Live is being discontinued and the new Line 6 HD 300, 400, and 500 processors are due to be in stores next month. The HD 500 will be the same price as the X3 Live so why buy a discontinued model for 499.99?
I'm seing if they will knock a couple of hundred off the asking price.
