Line6 Variax Standard Review
She's a model, and she's looking good.... Rating: A swiss-army knife for the gigging musician, without the boutique price-tag. Introduction: I bought a Variax Standard in 2015 in the Yamaha Centre in London soon after it came out - My JTV-59 was having problems and I had come to rely on being able to switch tunings and guitar types mid-gig. I thought it made sense, as I had the JTV-59, to get something in a strat shape, to go with it. I tried the JTV-69 and actually found that I preferred the playability of the Variax Standard and went with it. I did have a few moments pause though - why wouldn't I want to buy a guitar designed by the famed James Tyler rather than what is essentially a mass-market Yamaha Pacifica with the Variax technology inside? Well in the several years I have spent with the JTV-59 I came to the conclusion that the best thing about this guitar is the models and the ability to change tunings on the fly. The worst things about it
