The one-piece North American maple neck and fingerboard on the Line 6 Variax 600 Guitar is a first for the Variax series. 9-1/2" fretboard radius allows comfortable chording and buzz-free bends.

Pretty G'Dang Good!

First the bad: the Variax is not a Les Paul or a high-end Strat. It’s not going to sound exactly the same, or have the same buttery feel. I’ve played both, and even owned an old Les Paul Standard, and it still sounded like me playing them. Now the good: the sound is close enough to be recognizable, and the feel is very, very competent. The Stratocaster is missing a little of the nasal sound my Vintage Noiseless pickups put out, but that’s okay. The ES-335 settings (all three switch positions) sound amazing for medium-drive rock. The acoustic sounds are good, and the banjo sounds very convincing with an alternate tuning, a capo, and a little practice to perfect some technique. This beats carrying a half dozen instruments to a gig. Couple it with a Pod XT or later, and a tap of your toe changes your attack without dead air between songs while you fumble with all the issues (time, sound system tweaks, tuning, etc.) trading axes forces upon you. I’m a fan. Now if I’m recording, I will go back to my favorite Strat or acoustic, but on stage, it’s pretty g’dang close, and that’s good enough!

This guitar is absolutely beautiful. the looks on the antique white one are stunning! The neck is sooooo smooth on this guitar. It is super easy for sweeps. It has so many different sounds. Some are great and others are just awful. But you will expect that on any piece of equipment. I would recomend this for anyone as long as you get the pod xt live. It makes it way easier. The only bad part about this guitar is that the batteries die super quickly. If you get the pod, you won't need batteries. BUY THIS GUITAR! You will love it.

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock & blues mostly.

I've had the Variax 500 for nearly 2 years now, and use it live and for recording (both through a Pod XTL). I play in a cover-band, and so far have always managed to find just the tone I want from the Variax - yes it takes time to get it right (especially with the effects pedal), but I'm pleased as punch with this guitar, and have even considered getting a 2nd as back-up, rather than having my Tele (which I've never had to fall back on, incidentally)

The neck is nice and playable, no problems reaching any part, and bending is easy and clear.

There are a couple of minor gripes with this guitar - when first switching to an acoustic model, there's a nasty click (which only happens the first time); and, there's no indicator dot on the volume or tone controls (so I've stuck some tape on it!)

Oh, and as far as needing batteries is concerned - the Variax comes with a power supply (or, for me, takes it power from the Pod XTL) so no problems there.

I really like playing this guitar!

Enough has been said about this guitar in the reviews below, so I will focus on my own personal thoughts about it. First of all, like any instrument, you have to get to know it - the feel, the wood, the "vibe" - the difference with this guitar is that the sound that comes out of the amp is different depending on how you turn a nob. I would advise spending some time without an amp and just practicing with it acoustically.

you are crazy not to buy one of these

I received my blue Variax in the mail early last week and fell in love with it instantly. The neck is extremely comfortable due to its rather narrow width and curved fingerboard radius. This is good because I encorporate my thumb into a lot of chords and it helps keep my carpal tunnel from flaring up as much as it does on my Gibsons. I have gigged with it a couple times already and haven't used anything else. Even if you are playing with numerous other guitarists you will always be able to find a sound that will stand out in the mix. It comes with 55 sounds right out of the box and this can be expanded infinitely with the Workbench software. I have never had as much fun as I have playing this guitar.
