Yeah, I have to say I sorta take my comment back.

This thread caused me to plug it back in and experiment.

I had forgotten how cool it is, if you use the right effects, compression, reverb, etc.

I would not use it as the main upfront acoustic because of the way I play--I like a lot of instantaneous control and wide, varied string response because I pick with my fingers. I also like the main acoustic to "breathe."

BUT, for other tracks mixed down a little lower there some really neat things you can do with the Variax, especially percussive things, that you will not get with a normal acoustic.

Have fun with your model Pat.
