A Bold New Variax from Line 6
The Line 6 Variax Shuriken solidbody baritone electric guitar is the signature model for 12 Foot Ninja axe man, Steve "Stevic" MacKay. Known for his knack for jumping from high-gain, down-tuned riffing to clean alternate-tuned on a dime, Stevic needs an instrument that can deliver those tones in an instant. With its onboard Variax electronics for a wide variety of guitar tones and programmed tunings, this baritone nails it. And the Variax Shuriken's aggressively shaped alder body and 27" scale length ensure it's ready for the heaviest playing you can throw at it.

Built for metal
The Line 6 Steve "Stevic" MacKay Signature Variax Shuriken baritone is finely crafted from the ground up for precise, pummeling metal. The body is carved from balanced-sounding alder that also contributes to the instrument's lighter weight. The body's striking shape serves two purposes. Firstly, its appearance proudly proclaims its powerful intentions. Secondly, its deep cutaways and sculpted contours make the guitar comfortable to play. And the guitar's 27" scale length is a favorite among Sweetwater metal heads for its ability to give low tunings a tight and punchy tone.
Onboard magnetic and piezo pickups
Even without the onboard Variax electronics, the Variax Shuriken solidbody baritone electric guitar delivers a surprising amount of different tones. The single humbucker in the bridge position has been voiced to attain ultimate clarity and tight response from high-gain tones. Its medium output is never muddy and still pushes enough power to drive your amp. The Shuriken also boasts an LR Baggs piezo pickup system for simulating the natural and woody sound of an acoustic guitar.
Variax electronics
Right out of the case, your Line 6 Variax Shuriken comes with dozens of impeccable instrument models. Rare vintage electrics, fabulous acoustics, and even exotic instruments are waiting at your fingertips. Alternate tunings can also be programmed and accessed with the flick of a switch. The Variax electronics let Stevic combine the tones of his favorite instruments and tunings to nail his otherwise-impossible musical diversity. You're guaranteed to be well-equipped for any studio or stage situation with the Line 6 Variax Shuriken.
