Line 6 Variaxe guitar?

[turnitdown]

You can now buy replacement bodies for the Variaxe... That's the key... I hate the original bodies... but in a nice Strat shape, with a slimmer neck??? SSSWWEEEEEEETTT!!! (My buddy just did this... NOW it's nice!)

Previously on this forum I sated that Vartiax=EVIL.....

I actually played one at guitar Center this week. Forget the EVIL stuff - it's just a dumb idea altogether!! Using an electic pickup to "model" an acoustic sound. I don't know how they thought they would be able to reproduce the sound of an acoustic (let alone MANY one them) comeing from a speaker!! That is just insane!! Acoustic/Elecric guitar pretty much sound terrible anyway, so this thing is definately not worth the $$$

Actually that's what most acoustic/electrics do - use a pickup to make it sould like an acoustic.

Anyway, I read a lot more about it and bought one and had it for a month, exchanging it for a brand new one that came in today.....I didn't want a floor model.

It's not an instrument you'll understand or get comfortable with overnight but once you do, it's a great stage instrument and even has recording possibilities.

If you don't like way something sounds then use the Workshop software on your computer, change it and download it to the guitar.

that just doesnt sound right to me ... maybe thats the future, but I still am at odds with "downloading it to the guitar" ...

... make sure that guitar doesnt power off during the update or you will have to send it in for a bios re-flash
