The Audya has excellent bass and drums...very "live" sounding...then again, if you want great "live" sounding bass and drums AND other parts as well, in a style, you'd be best off getting a second hand G-70/E-80...you'd save a bundle, and have a far more "finished" instrument.

In my opinion, the Audya is limited in "overall" excellence, especially for the high asking price...to my ears, it shines in only two areas...bass and drums...the guitar parts in the style aren't that impressive, but I'm used to mega voices, so perhaps they do strike a chord (pardon the pun) with some who aren't.

In my opinion, it's a lot of money for bass and drums.

There doesn't appear to be much third party style support either.
