For those of you unfamilar with the variax (very few if any), its simply a modelling system built into the guitar to digitally process the outputed sound so for example, change the tuning digitally but not manually.

these new ones maintain all the old features plus some new ones.

Upgrades:

theres now a virtual capo feature demostrated in this video

tuning can be changed via a dial on the guitar without having to plug into variax workbench

The bridges have been changed to be more stable (details here tylervariax.com/2010/04/22/72/stay-tuned/)

Now come with custom wound pickups so can be used traditionally as a bypass as well

The modelling processes have been improved with higher performance parts

What do you all think? I'd definitely say its made the Variax far more practical and better looking

Hopefully, they don't play like every variax I played.

they're certainly quite reasonably priced considering.
