Josh I meant to answer you before and got sidetracked. I have a VG-8 and Two Parker guitars (a Concert Fly like Joni's and a Classic Fly which also has magnetic pick ups). I think Bree and some other folks did a good job telling you about the system, but if you have any more questions feel free to contact me and also check out the VG-8.com website. Also come to Jonifest in NY this summer and you can try mine out.
