    Line 6, Inc., manufacturers
    of the world’s first digital modeling amplifiers and guitars, announced today
    the launch of its Variax 300 modeling guitar. The instrument features a
    comfort-contoured body, maple neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard,
    six-on-a-side headstock, 22 medium profile frets, 25 1/2″ scale length, and a
    12″ fingerboard radius. Variax 300 takes the same technology and sound from
    the award-winning Variax family and puts over 25 historic guitar sounds into
    an instrument that any musician from beginner to professional can afford.

    Within Variax 300 is Line 6’s patented guitar modeling technology, which
    can accurately reproduce the sounds of a variety of well-known vintage
    electric and acoustic guitars, in addition to other guitar-related
    instruments, such as a resonator, banjo, and electric sitar. Modeled
    variations include solid-body, semi-hollow guitars, and hollow-body electrics
    with single-coil and humbucking pickups, as well as, several six- and
    twelve-string acoustics.

    Variax 300 works just like a traditional guitar with instantly familiar
    controls for easy use. In addition to the standard volume and tone controls,
    there is a model selector knob and a 5-way selector switch, which changes the
    guitar models and selects the pickup position. The characteristic tone and
    volume control responses of each electric model are also accurately
    replicated, creating instant familiarity for guitarists.

    Variax 300 has a standard 1/4″ output that easily connects to any guitar
    amp or pedalboard setup. In addition, Variax 300 can also be digitally
    connected to Line 6’s Vetta II amp or PODxt Live. Now it’s possible to create
    patches that incorporate Variax guitar models with the amp, cab and effects
    models provided by Vetta II or PODxt Live. Musicians now have access to
    virtually any guitar/amp/cab/effect combination with just the press of a
    footswitch. Variax 300 is available in opaque gloss red or black finishes.
    Custom TRS cable and XPS mini power supply box included.

    Variax 300 Pricing: $699.99 MSRP (red or black)
