Is this just an updated VAX or will they come out with something really special? It would be nice to have some of the features of the VG-99 in the VAX, but maybe I'm asking for too much. Yes, the magnetic pickups are cool, but that's why I have a Les Paul also. This new version doesn't seem to have a lot to add. I've only had my 600 for about a year and really enjoy it.

It appears also that they are selling the korean version and not the American based on the price. If you go to Sweetwater Sound's website, they have them listed for sale, but no pics. Yes, those are the prices for the Korean JTVs.Â I'll attach a pic of the 59, 69 and 89 models below (in that order).Â There is another group here in the forums called 'Welcome to the James Tyler Variax group!' that has a lot more information about the new Variaxes.Â There are several major improvements to the features and usability of the guitars that make them seem well worth the price to me.Â But Nick is correct, I wouldn't expect to actually be able to buy one before September, maybe even later.Â I think you are able to pre-order, that's about it for now.Īs far as having features of the VG-99, it depends on which features you mean - but don't expect much.Â Of course the Variax models sound so much better than the VG-99's that it's still the only modeler I would use.Īnyway, besides the forum I mentioned there are videos online (try YouTube or Facebook), many articles, and a blog written by Rich Renken, Line 6's Variax head honcho.Â Any and all of these contain MUCH more information about the new lineup.
