[Musikmesse] Line 6 Variax James Tyler

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, '' the company says.

Variax guitars are designed to reproduce the sounds of a 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, six- and twelve-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, said to reflect the designs of James Tyler in each curve, component and control.

Line 6 will be chronicling in real-time the design and development of the new guitars. The public is invited to participate firsthand in the evolution of these groundbreaking instruments at tylervariax.com.
