The sounds aren't any better w/ Ver.2 for the VG-88.

I have a Godin ACS-SA (nylon string) and a GK equipped Parker NiteFly.

I notice that no matter what I do I get some "string sound" bleed 
through into my sounds.  This is not good.  When running a nylon 
patch through my GK it sounds like total crap.  However, when running 
those same patches through my Godin, the nylon string sound bleed 
actually helps with the "authenticity" of the sound and w/ some 
tweaking it does not sound too bad.  It's definitely passable.

As for acoustic sounds, well, nothing really changed in the upgrade.  
Some have commented that the original VG-8 sounds better for acoustic 
patches (if I am remembering the posts correctly).

If you didn't know, there is a VG users group on Yahoo (actually 
there are 2 "vg-users" and the other one.  THe "other one" gets a lot 
of traffic and has some very knowledgable people on the list.  The VG-
users list does not get much traffic.
