No problem. Sorry you took the pics for nothing.

Good luck dialing the tone in. Hopefully someone else can post with some better advice. I'd just recommend trying different sets of strings (and tensions) until you find a winner for your Spanish Fly, and then tweeking your amp and settings from there. It's all about what your expectations are.

I like medium tension on my classical, but have heard that higher tension strings work better with piezos.

I have a Roland guitar synth, and I think it is the GR-33 like you have (but I can't remember the model offhand, and it is in a box in the garage). Yeah, the nylon string patches are pretty unrealistic. I think you'd have more luck with the piezo and real nylon strings rather than using nylon strings to trigger a synth which is basically a recording. Fly's have good resonance for a thin body, try to capitalize on it.
