25 Great Guitar Sounds in One Axe!
Imagine a wall full of the world's finest acoustic and electric guitars ready for you to play in the studio or on stage. The Line 6 Variax 700 offers the sounds of an entire guitar collection - 25 in all - in a single instrument that plays as great as it sounds.

Line 6 Variax 700 Modeling Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Incredibly accurate models of 25 different stringed instruments
  • Custom-crafted instrument feels great to play
  • Unique hexaphonic pickup and Line 6 exclusive electronics

Incredibly accurate models of 25 different stringed instruments
The Variax 700 combines Line 6's exclusive modeling technology, with a custom-crafted solid-body guitar, to accurately reproduce the sounds of a variety of classic six and twelve string electric and acoustic guitars - plus other fretted favorites, such as a resonator, banjo, and electric sitar. All of the sounds are accessible with just one knob and the 5-way pickup selector. The Variax 700 can change instantly from a classic single-coil solid-body electric to a richly detailed acoustic 12-string at the flick of a switch.

Custom-crafted instrument feels great to play
But great tone is not complete without a great-feeling, high quality instrument. The Variax 700 is the custom-crafted model in the line, with a carved-top ash over mahogany body, a one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, bone nut, and pearl inlays, and Gotoh Tuners - all carefully crafted by experienced luthiers to create an invitingly playable instrument - no matter what tone you choose.

Unique hexaphonic pickup and Line 6 exclusive electronics
Although at first glance the Variax 700 appears to be a conventional electric guitar, closer inspection reveals its lack of traditional magnetic pickups. The string vibrations are detected by a hexaphonic bridge pickup and are converted directly into digital signals. These signals are processed through software algorithms that capture the interaction of each instrument's pickups, their placement, the tone controls, and details of the instrument's physical structure. Unlike MIDI instruments or guitar synths, the Variax 700 dynamically alters the signal of its own natural string vibrations to match the modeled instrument's unique tonal characteristics. The signal is then converted back to analog, so the Variax 700 can be plugged directly into any electric guitar amplifier.

On stage or in the studio, the Variax 700 delivers playability, inspiration, and tone on demand!

With a Line 6 Variax 700 you've got a whole guitar collection!

Customer Reviews
 Completely won over  
by Jon Hamilton from Vero Beach, FL, September 11, 2007
Music Background:  Worship Leader, Studio musician


“I swore I would never use a modeling guitar. Then Line 6 came out with a Variax that is high quality enough for us guitar snobs with dead-on guitar models.

I use it on a worship team, and with a POD XTLive you can go from a big dreadnaught to a Les Paul through a Marshall stack with a single click of the pedal.

I have been completely won over by Line 6.”
