I had a friend with the VG-88. It is a very nice guitar processor that does modeling of all kinds and even allows for alternative tunings, but like you said, it's not really a synth. I suppose one could say it's almost six different guitar processors in one. I would've bought one a few years ago if I could've found a rack mount version to control via my GR 30. Instead I bought a couple of Boss VF-1's (now gone). But even though I use a guitar synth, I now prefer a small tube amp with few effects for my "real" guitar sound with the synth mostly in the background. Part of the reason I used strings, organs, pads in the background was because of tracking problems on the old guitar my internal Roland pickup was in. I could never get the pickup close enough to the saddles because of the way the bridge was made. Now that it's on my seven string guitar it seems to track a bit better so I'm trying more solo piano sounds.
