Interesting...
Can't get much info from the various links - but it looks like it might be the standard Variax guts though, going on several years old now?
I like the fact it's got real pickups as well.
Have you got a Variax hunter? I own two guitars and one bass. I use the bass a fair bit, but I haven't used the guitars since my wife bought me a strat a few years ago (the strat model on the Variax wasn't entirely to my taste, I was continually tweaking it with the PC software to try to make it respond better... so she bought me a real one!)
I'm not sure I'll be getting that excited about this... I must admit to quite liking the original guitars (I have a Variax 500 and a Variax 600) as guitars themselves... I could never see what everyone was bitching about :lol:
And I'd already figured out that if I wanted to "upgrade" the guitar, what I'd do is take one to Jonathan at Feline and say "OK, let's gut this thing and build a Feline round the Variax box inside it..."
(Actually, I think he's done this before - I've seen a Variax 500 body lurking around his shop)
