The first (bought several years ago) was a Godin LGX-SA which uses the Baggs system. It works well (and it's a great bang for the buck), but I had a minor crosstalk problem with my VG-88 on pitch-shifted patches. My other two more recent guitars -- a Gibson Pat Martino and a custom Holst archtop -- use the RMC hex piezo system, and they are a dream. No crosstalk, very good "triggering" on the VG-88. It's not quite the same thing as a Midi synth, but like the Axon, the VG-88 depends on a good strong hex signal with minimal crosstalk between strings. With the RMC system, there are options in how to set up your guitar... either with full synth controls onboard, or a minimal "clean" setup with a floor box preamp (that's the route I took). Let me know if you have any questions about the RMC setup and I'll try to answer. Both my RMC installations use the Tune-O-Matic bridge saddle sets. Also, Richard McLish at RMC is good about answering questions by email. Here's the RMC web site: http://www.rmcpickup.com/ Mike Barrs
