Line 6 Variax 500 Review

History:

Purchase: I needed a versatile guitar, as I'm home-recording a Cd with different styles of music. I bought the guitar from The Netherlands, Online in Germany for 676.00 including gig-bag and delivery.

Pros: All these great guitar sounds into one guitar. I can't compare them off course sound with the real ones, but they nearly all sounds pretty realistic to me. I bought a nice looking Sunburst version, because I own already an acoustic Sunburst Gibson J100Xtra, they look like 'father and son' to me! Unike some others, I have no complaints about the feel of the neck or it's workmanship.



Cons: Straight out of the box, I hade to work on the angle of the neck and the position of one of the saddles. When I play the guitar sitting with it on my lap, I'm not to keen on it's balance. It's quite heavy, because of all it's electronics I think. I find the Banjo and the Sitar sounds not very convincing. It's a pity you can't Transpose with this guitar like it's acoustic version!

Variax 500 Quality: It all looks pretty good to me, especial if you realize what you all get for a very decent price!

Line 6 Summary: There is an upgrade connection on the guitar, I wonder what will be on offer in the future and if you can choose from the upgrades on offer!
