Manufacturer's Description from Other

Line 6 Variax

It’s been over 80 years since the invention of the traditional electric guitar, and guitarists are still dealing with the same performance limitations. Changing tunings is slow and time consuming, and the range of tones is limited. To get a variety of sounds or alternate tunings for gigs and studio sessions, guitarists need multiple guitars—which is inconvenient and expensive. Stages are small. Trunks are smaller. Less needs to do more.

Imagine if you could switch your guitar from its natural electric guitar tone to perfectly modeled versions of the world’s most coveted vintage electrics, classic acoustics and exotic instruments, all with the simple twist of a knob. Or switch up your tunings on the fly, even mid-song. Imagine the trunk space saved. Imagine the room recovered on stage. Imagine fluidly covering acoustic, electric and even a banjo break in the same song—without changing instruments. It’s all possible with Line 6 Variax. These modern instruments shatter the limitations of traditional guitars, and will spark your creativity in exciting new ways.

James Tyler Model

Amazing guitar tone. Impeccable design. Incredible playability. James Tyler Variax guitars feature everything you’d expect from a top-shelf instrument—from the premium tonewood body and rosewood fingerboard to custom pickups wound to James Tyler’s specs. The built-in Variax HD technology is completely transparent, so the aesthetics and playability of the instrument is never compromised. You can be certain your guitar will play beautifully—and sound incredible.

Anderson HN Series Pickup

For bridge application, another time-honored Anderson humbucker series—medium-hot to hot output, focused-field (mid-concentrated frequency response) bridge pickups for an experience of more mid-muscle without sounding “pinched”—still full bodied and surprisingly musical, even at higher power levels.

HN 3+: Take the next step up from the HN3 with a bit more gain and smooth saturation—while still remaining very harmonically rich.
