25.5" Scale Length

Performing with lowered tunings typically involves playing either a guitar with more than six strings or a baritone guitar. The Shuriken Variax SR250 features a familiar 25.5" scale length, and Variax HD technology enables players to access a variety of alternate tunings without physically changing the tuning of the guitar and while using standard-gauge strings. The Shuriken Variax SR250 also allows guitarists to venture beyond the ranges of conventional 6-, 7-, or even 8-string guitars.

Variax HD Technology

Variax HD technology makes it possible to instantly access the sounds of dozens of legendary electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and other fretted instruments with the twist of a knob -- and switching between alternate tunings is just as easy. Guitarists can also design custom instruments and tunings, then load them into the guitar as presets using the free read more Workbench HD application.

Optimized For Line 6 Multi-Effects

Although the Shuriken Variax SR250 can easily be incorporated into any guitar rig, pairing it with Line 6 Helix, POD HD, and Firehawk modelers unlocks its full potential. Create custom presets that change tunings and amp, effect, and guitar model settings -- all with the touch of a footswitch.

"Nice!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Tracking is excellent, pinch harmonics can get a little funky on lower tunings. Variety of sounds is excellent, the passive pickup is also pleasantly voiced. Best feature is the guitar itself. Feels like a 1500 custom shop guitar, older variax felt like adult software with a kids beginner's axe. This is an amazing step in a very exciting direction.Would have appreciated better world instruments. Harp, Kotolin, Samshein, something to capture that Japanese ninja flavor.Instruction manual should have pointers on using software etc and how to use battery charger. With new tech this is crucial.
