But....

Whether the statement is accurate is anyone's guess; i.e. that there's a 
50%
cost in the guitar end and a 50% cost in the software/hardware/development
end (per the article on the Variax in Guitar Player).

However, there are some nice axes available now in the approx. $500 price
range. I bought a PRS Santana for $499 which is really well-made for the
price point. I also bought a close out of a Jackson DK-2S with the 
Sustainer
for $399. Again, pretty nicely made and decked out for 4 big ones. 'Course,
if it's a $149 item, that's another story.

Regarsd, Paul
