Variax Done finally

[~K~]

Some of you may remember I bought the protype body off of Warmoth when it came out for their retrofit for the Variax 500. I had mocked the guitar up without paint to see how it would go and it played so well I never took it apart to have it done


Well I sent Sully the guitar and he worked his paint magic on it and it arrived yesterday. So while I was here at work I rebuilt it and I figured I'd share pictures of the finished product .. Behold the Mayniax

Sorry about the quality they were taken with my camera phone

Sweet!

I gotta get something like that done. I loved the concept of the Vaiax, but didn't care for the guitar itself. Add an Ibenhad Double Edge Pro (piezo saddles AND double-locking) to a modded/Variax-ready Jackson body with magnetic pickups, a Roland GK-3 driver, and an XTLive and you've got the do-all guitar setup.

Awesome!!!...that turned out great. I bought a variax 300 with the intention of doing the warmoth thing.
How do you switch between the pup and piezo? Any other details would be appreciated as well.

Once again nice job!

Nice with the matching headstock. Truly a wicked pissah.

How do you switch between the pup and piezo?

It isn't hooked up yet but it is ust a matter of adding a mini toggle

[Annah]

Nice!!!

I don't know man.. is it plywood? W/o strings it looks like one of those plastic cheapos you get in target where you press the keys. j/k!! Its the phone!

..... Don't mind me, I'm in a bit of a weird mood today.. sleep deprivation.......................

Looks good, hardtail! I like the logo.

Sully does nice paint work. Is that mahogany?

[~K~]

It's actually alder

Thanks peeps .. I'm soooo happy to finally be finishing this one up

[Firebird V]

Fuckin' awesome!

I did a 300. It is an alder body but I put a scalloped reverse hs warmoth neck on it with a wolfgang backshape and ss frets.

Mine isnt painted either but I am going to take it apart and shoot it.

My brother is working on a way to get his sustainiac in a variax.

Great Job!

The logo rox!

That's sweet. Love the color! And the Dimebucker is an interesting choice there.

looks great....the burst is awesome.

[HuntinDoug]

Very cool....The icing on the cake is the name...I love it!

[hippietim]

Very cool Kevin! I love the decal!

That really came together quickly, it seems like just 2 years ago you were starting this and voila it is done

[skorb]

totally killer, including the paint and the funny name.

shaddap, youse! :ROTF:

glad ya like it maydizzle. i've got better pix that i'll post, but it's a really hard guitar to photograph, as it looks more vibrant in person.
