I need to know more about MaGIC in context. IIRC, Gibson have been working on this technology for some time.

From whats in this news item, it appears that they dont yet model anything, as opposed to the Line-6 Variax.

But, even the Variax can probably be thought of in terms of the Roland modelling thats been around for years.

Theyre all looking to process the string vibration digitally, and what you then do with that is digital processing, whether it is modelling anything or not.

No matter what, it seems to me that Line 6 can lay claim to being the first to offer a fully integrated digital and modelling guitar.
