 Great value. November 19, 2008
I have wanted one of the iAxe guitars for a long time, what can I say I am a computer geek.
I just got one here at the best price anywhere. I opted for the MetAlien package as I like the style better than the other iAXE's.
You could buy a normal starter guitar for about the same price with the same quality, its the USB input that makes it unique. This guitar also features a normal cable interface so you can connect it up to an amp.
There is a USB adapter made by Behringer to do the same thing with a normal guitar.
The software is nice and fairly straightforward, it includes a virtual tuner which a bonus, but I still use my Korg tuner on it.
Yes you have to pick one of three virtual amps and the rest are like $15.00 ea.
The first thing I did was have it restrung with Dean Marley strings and had the action lowered as per forum recommendations. So far I am impressed with what I got, I am already looking at normal guitars with lust, lol. But I have a long way to go before I graduate from my iAxe. Something else I came across where virtual lessons called Iperform 3D, pretty cool and on a high geeknesss level, the word though is that personal instruction cannot be ignored, a computer cannot tell you if you are holding your hand incorrectly (yet!) so get lessons.

This will only be useful, if you're totally new to the guitar.
The guitar is great, a nice finish and the packaging was superb. It's worth it to purchase the USB model, because you will always be able to purchase an inexpensive amp. Since, I really don't know what an extremely well-made guitar should look like...I'll leave it at that
Now for the difficult part; the Native Instrument virtual amps are slightly confusing. You receive all three for a 30-day trial; however, you can select one permanently with the coupon included in the package. Initially, the instructions indicate you can listen only through headphones (not included), but depending on your OP-SYS you will be able to select your 'interface' and 'output/input devices'. With so experimentation...audio will come through your computer speakers.
As I am working on chords/barre chords and "Wild Thing" by the Troggs.
I highly recommend this guitar for the true beginner.
