Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Francesco,
You're welcome.
The VZ response time and expressiveness are fine, for my ability.  The
response time is a property (mostly) of the MIDI guitar system.  My
old Casio MG-500 MIDI guitar is a good guitar, but a little slow, as a
MIDI controller.  (Hey, it's 20 years old!)  The response of the
Godin, along with the Roland GI-20, is very much better.  I would
expect the craftsmanship of the more expensive Godin LGX-SA (which
I've not seen) to be superior to my xtSA (which is very good as a MIDI
controller, especially for $600US but not up to the construction
quality of my best guitars).  I have it on good authority that the
Axon MIDI interfaces are also excellent.  The Casio VZ-8M, with its
MIDI guitar mode, is my favorite guitar synth, with the Roland MKS-70
a respected second.

is fast ( especially to midi guitars) and expressive?
