My name is Josh Eubank and I am a new member to the "Only Joni" list! I have a few questions I was hoping someone could answer for me! I know that on Taming the Tiger, Joni uses a new guitar system which I've heard called two things. Mainly most people who knew a lot about guitars said it was called the Roland VG-88, although when I read about it in her biographical section of jonimitchell.com, it was refered to simply as the Roland VG-8! Basically here are my questions! Are the Roland VG-8 and VG-88 two different things that Roland manufacture, or is it often just shortened to the VG-8 with the second 8 left out to save time or something? Also, what does it do, and what kind of guitar is Joni using it with, I've heard a custom-made strat! But how can you build a Strat? Didn't she already have the Strat and then send it off to Roland to have them do the modifications that were required before it could work with the system? Any info anyone has would be great.
Thanks very much! Josh Eubank
