Multiply by 10.
I don't know what their total user base is, but if your estimate is right, then thats 2.0% of their user base, which is a significant sum.
While this might not be the best idea for live shows, think about the implications that this could have for recording studios, esp. electronic music.
If digitizing of the analogue signal can be perfected at the instument end of equipment, the possibilities for signal loss/distortion are greatly diminished. A digital signal from the guitar can be sent directly from the guitar to the recording equipment.
This allows for a more pure signal to be recieved, and recorded. While there are people who object to digitizing music (give me a 'pure' analogue signal!), it is hard to deny the reality that ALL recorded music (on CDs) is digitized. By digitizing earlier on in the process, Gibson is mearly allowing for the listener to hear a sound that was sampled from a more pure origonal than current methods allow.
I don't really see how someone can object to studio use of technology like this, and as another poster pointed out, there are plenty of uses for such tech in things like the addition of live effects during concerts, etc..
And maybe, just maybe this will help to get us away from the current bland techno beats, as this *does* give better access to instuments to the button pushers.
Actually, I can get to the site without errors. The first page I loaded took a good 4 minutes to show up, but after that page loaded, each page request has been loaded almost as fast as normal.

Did Anyone Think...? My fist thought was:
I didn't know Steve Gibson [grc.com] played guitar!
No.

Talk about the ultimate hot-box...
