Anyone have pointers to more info about Hoogewerf ?

Any pointers/info for Wohlforth ?

3)
Has anyone here tried the Lyrrus GVOX Guitar system ? It's pretty cheap,

Darren, I'd e-mail you privately if I knew what the 'eck MCDDS001 was.
Could you get back to me with info about the guitar(s) you use,
your work with it, URL for a home page (if you have it ), etc.
