If you ever thought about buying a Variax

[hippietim]

Guitar Center is blowing out the original models for $499. I picked one up as a spare tonight. Same electronics as the new ones just in a cheaper guitar. Another interesting note is that Warmoth will be supporting the routes for the Variax electronics in their Strat and Tele bodies. If you'd like to have a Variax but not have it be ass ugly, this would be the way to go. I'm thinking of a hot wheels Variax strat... hmm...

Yeah but the software on them is upgradeable. We plugged on into the Vetta 2 at work and it updated the software automatically.
Cool stuff.
Wonder how the next generation will be as far as playability and body shape.

Warmoth is ready to make Strat and Tele bodies ready for Variax guts:

I thought about it once and then I played the f*in' thing! What a piece of crap! Never even bothered to plug it after that. I don't care what it sounds like, it feels like a cheap Korean POS to me... [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

For that price you can get a VG8 and play it with a real guitar..............
