Line 6 Variax Modeler Guitar

Variax combines Line 6's exclusive modeling technology with an invitingly playable, high-quality, custom-crafted solidbody guitar to accurately reproduce the sounds of a variety of classic 6- and 12-string electric and acoustic guitars, plus other fretted instruments such as a resonator, banjo, and electric sitar. Instead of standard magnetic pickups, the Variax detects string vibrations with a hexaphonic bridge pickup, converts the signals to digital and processes them using software algorithms, then reconverts to analog so the signal can be sent direct to a guitar amp. As a result, single-coil sounds are noise-free, acoustic instrument sounds can be played at high volume without feedback, and a variety of classic guitar tones are available at the flick of a switch. The guitar features a contoured alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium frets, and a 25-1/2" scale length. Powered by onboard batteries or from footswitch. Includes Line 6 gig bag and A/B footswitch.
