This line 6 Variax standard review will help you to learn more about the features and whether the line 6 Variax standard guitar is right for you. This line 6 Variax standard demo will help you get a quick start with your line 6 electric guitar.
The first thing you will notice about the Line 6 Variax guitar is that there are not a lot of reviews out there.
We really do not know why but it is an underrepresented guitar when it comes to reviewers, we think that it may be one of the best Variax guitars at this price point.
Some Stand Out Points.
The Line 6 Variax Shuriken right out of the box is impressive. It has a unique body shape when you compare it to another Variax guitar. It has a great body shape that contours in all the right spots making it super comfortable to play.
There was a lot of design planning that went into the body shape. Of course, it is not only the body shape that is impressive. It is the entire style of this modelling guitar that really makes it a stand out.
Some would even say that this is the best Variax yet because of the extra effort put into the design elements of the body and style. Of course, there is also that hard to beat Variax electronics as well.
Comfort is key and Line 6 does a great job of delivering the comfort that you want to be able to play for hours without feeling the fatigue that you can feel with other modelling guitars. It got 5 stars when it comes to comfort and playability.
Enough about the look and the comfort, lets talk about what really matters, the features and the sound.
The Features.
The Yamaha Variax has some great features that deliver great capabilities. It has one standard pickup. The Line 6 humbucker is mid-gain and it also has an LR Baggs piezo built into the fixed bridge that delivers acoustic tones.
There are 24 frets both medium and jumbo.
There’s a master tone, volume and select control knobs and a 5-position blade switch. A ¼ inch jack and Variax Digital Interface jack to make connecting to amps and processors easy.
You can instantly access a wide range of instrument sounds with the control knobs that have been logically placed. Another nod to the importance of ergonomics in modelling guitars.
The control knobs are strategically placed for easy access during play which makes a huge difference in your ability to control the Variax and get the most out of its capabilities.
The control knobs let you choose from a range of models including various six and twelve-string acoustics, Shuriken Model T, Lester the Les Paul Standard, Jazz, Banjo and Dan electric, Twang and more.
The Line 6 Variax acoustic sounds are great, we were thoroughly impressed. As a matter of fact, we were impressed with the overall playability.
Features we Liked.
We liked that the baritone scale offers great string tension and intonation even when you are tuned way down. The electronics offers a great range of both acoustic and electric guitar models and includes alternate sounds like the sitar and the banjo.
It makes it easier to put your focus where it needs to be instead of switching out instruments.
The multi-function knobs are also a big hit. Each one features four settings that allow access to the presets and can be used to save new custom sounds as well.
You can take advantage of the free download of Workbench that allows you to create custom models and to tweak the tuning. It is an intuitive software suite that really puts control in the user’s hands. Overall it is hard to beat this electronic guitar at this price point.
There are a lot of good things to say about the Line 6 Variax but the best way to learn about this guitar is to watch the video.
Enjoy the Demo!
