Feature:
Instant drop tuning, instant guitar model selection with toggle switch for five most-used.

Quality:
Pretty good, with the exception of the neck.

Sound:
Does a great job of matching guitar sounds. The banjo-type sounds are a little clunky.

Ease of Use:
Have had trouble with saving to the toggle. But other than that, it's fine. Would be great if I replace the neck with a Strat neck, and replace the tuning keys with locking types.

Support:
Dealth with American Musical - who instantly replaced the first V600 I ordered, which had a bad pickup on one string. So don't buy direct.

Overall:
I suspect Line 6 will improve the Variax. I would buy another one.

Quality:
There is a piece of old ice cream container plastic where the nut should be. Get an expert to replace the nut because it is glued in with a gallon of non standard guitar making glue that makes it almost impossible to dislodge.

Feature:
the features are good but not dependable

Quality:
guality of finish is good neck feels good but if its not dependable its useless

Value:
$200.00 guitar

Desirability:
it looks good but thats all

Sound:
the modeling sound is good no problem with sound but it hasent saved models right since ive owned it its been in the shop for a bad input jack and the models not saving last time for 4 wks and its broke again with the same thing wrong i contacted line 6 and told them about the problem and all they had to say is sorry your having trouble this co has very poor customer service

Ease of Use:
very easy to use but again not dependable

Support:
all they seem to care about is the on line community customer service is awful

Overall:
i would not recomend this guitar because of electronic problems and customer service

Feature:
Features? What do you say about a guitar that mimicks 25 differnt guitars? It's got a ton of features.

Quality:
It's cheap. No other way to say it. I own a '74 Les Paul, a Baker, a Tom Anderson Classic, etc.... This thing is just cheap. You can feel it.

Value:
I think I'd give the thing a higher mark if the value was measured from a technological viewpoint. But my feeling is the technology is old news. The bottom line is that it's a $200 guitar with some nifty electronics.

Desirability:
Different strokes for different folks. Some folks may love this thing. For me personally, it doesn't do a thing for me. I bought it on a whim to give it a thorough test drive. I drove it, now I'm selling it. Game over.

Sound:
I've played it through a variety of tube amps, one solid state amp,and direct to my PA board. Surprisingly, I'd say that about half of the models sound pretty good. The other half are either OK or they pretty much suck.

Ease of Use:
You really have to work at it to get some decent tone out of it. Then when you switch gears to another model you gotta do it all over again. I guess that's to be expected.

Support:
Haven't dealt with them. Don't know.

Overall:
If it were lost or stolen would I replace it? Heck no. I just reread my post and I think I sound a lot like a guitar snob. I don't mean to. I'm just trying to tell it like it is and maybe save someone else some grief. Sometimes you can pick up a really expensive guitar and it just doesn't feel or sound all that great. Other times you can pick up a middle of the road guitar and it sounds and plays beautifully. This Variax just aint got it.

Feature:
Not many guitars with more features! The Workbench software is cool but is pretty flakey on the Mac.

Quality:
The frets stuck out so far on the sides that I had to file them all down to make it safe to play. Setup was horrible out of the box for such an expensive unit. Pure crap!

Desirability:
Sunburst looks nice.

Sound:
It sounds like a modeling guitar. Pretty good estimations of the original.

Support:
Email only.

Overall:
They need to fire their quality control team!
