I posted a comment yesterday, absolutely convinced that it was a software problem and not the acoustic sound of the guitar I was hearing. I've since listened on some proper headphones and am not so sure... a rehearsal this week will hopefully make this clearer. My JTV-59 is so much louder acoustically than my old 700 and I'm beginning to believe this may really be the source!

I have the same problem with my brand new JTV-59. This is NOT the resonant sound, this is the alt tuning system simply not working. My previous guitar was a Variax 700 and the alt tunings worked perfectly. No warble. I've got used to using alt tunings when playing on stage so it's a feature I really make the most of and expected to work. I bought the JTV thinking... 'the modelling was so good in 2004 that it must be AMAZING ten years later'... so I was rather disappointed to discover it is not only worse but it's completely unusable. I'm gutted. I guess I'll have to try and send it back unless my the support ticket I raised results in a solution. Sigh.
