I'm in the process of listening to the G demos right now and currently listening through the Guitar sounds. I'm not sure if gareth went through every preset guitar patch or not but here's my take of the ones I heard: I've heard better on keyboards but some of them were pretty decent and useable. I liked the AC piano on the first demo but noticed a little discrepancy in quality in the mid section but overall an improvement over the X for sure. I thought that Pipe Organ on the G was fabulous and a notch better than the one on the X too in my opinion. As I listen to the lead synth sounds I am disappointed somewhat.

The B3 Organs need to be heard in greater depth and detail before I could ascertain their inherent worth and before determining if they are indeed better than what's already on the X with SRX. For what it's worth I didn't like the Banjo a whole lot. The EP's that I heard were pretty good though.
Here is my wish list if gareth or somebody else with a new G would like to try: Please record more acoustic sounds like Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Piano, etc. Organs seem to be a big favorite with many keyboardists so if someone could record some quality Organ/B3 demos from the G it would be greatly appreciated also.
PS: Supposedly the Fantom G now has a finished and 'stable' OS version installed on it by the fact that they are showing up in stores. I can see where Australia would get one of the first shipments because the Cargo ship leaving Tokyo harbor is heading east and Australia is a close and convenient early stop for it as it heads east toward America.

And if my calculations are correct the Fantom G will be docking at L.A. Harbor around the 25th of April and in stores shortly thereafter.

Patience my son, patience. Yes Lord.
