This new line of guitars is designed to deliver the feel of the finest boutique instruments and the optimal tonal performance of Line 6 guitar-modeling technology.

Through patented Line 6 guitar modeling technology, Variax guitars can reproduce the sounds of an entire collection of 25 vintage electric and acoustic instruments, and a dozen custom tunings. The modeled instruments include solid-body, semi-hollow guitars and hollow-body electrics with a variety of pickup configurations, 6- and 12-string acoustics, and other guitar-related instruments including a resonator, banjo and an electric sitar.

This new line of guitars will be available in three styles.

In a launch as creative as the instruments are innovative, Line 6 will be chronicling in real-time the design and development of the new guitars. At www.TylerVariax.com, the public is invited to participate in the evolution of these instruments.

Each Variax Designed by James Tyler will ship summer 2010.
