Comments
I can only echo the comments here - I think they're a good effort, but the concept is flawed.
If you like playing the guitar the system is mounted on, and as has been said - need a 'quirky sound' for one song, they're great.
To me where the concept falls over is that it can't change the feel of the guitar - a Les Paul plays very differently to a strat because of scale length and neck angle/profile.
Let alone factoring in the bend response of the strat vs the hard tail les paul etc.
Modelling can never help with that
For recording I think the only time I'd consider using it over my "real" guitars would be if I needed a specific sound that can't easily be had any other way (ie sitar or quacky strat in my case)

The problem is that if you put the electronics in a high quality guitar and they will be obsolete and unmaintainable 10 years down the line.
The other option is some kind of bolt on extra like the Roland stuff. At least that would be upgradeable and replaceable.

The problem as some have already stated is the feel of the neck profile. Now if I had the system in my tele I would love. However if you had the same V profile of your fave 57 strat, would you play it like a strat when using LP sounds? By having a bland no make feel to neck it's up to player to play guitar the way the model dictates. Sound wise it cannot be faulted, no it may not sound identical to your 58' Reissue LP but then again another Gibson LP will sound different.
It will not replace your fave guitar, but it will negate the need to carry so many guitars.
