The Shuriken Variax SR270 guitar resulted from a collaboration between Shuriken Guitars, Line 6, and Yamaha Guitar Development. It is a modern, high-quality instrument featuring a unique body shape with contoured edges, a 27" scale length, an Indian ebony fretboard, a Line 6 mid-gain humbucker, and all of the sonic versatility provided by Variax HD technology. The Shuriken Variax SR270 comes with a Shuriken premium padded gig bag.

27" SCALE LENGTH
A variety of tunings with a familiar feel.

Performing with lowered tunings typically involves playing either a guitar with more than six strings or a baritone guitar. While the Shuriken Variax SR270 guitar's longer scale length will feel familiar to most down-tuned players, Variax technology enables them to access a variety of alternate tunings without physically changing the tuning of the guitar and while using standard-gauge strings. The Shuriken Variax SR270 also allows guitarists to venture beyond the ranges of conventional 6-, 7-, or even 8-string guitars.

VARIAX HD TECHNOLOGY
Custom models and tuning presets.

Like all guitars equipped with Variax HD technology, the Shuriken Variax SR270 provides immediate access to a wide range of guitar models and alternate tunings simply by twisting a knoband custom guitar models and alternate tunings may be saved as presets using the free Workbench HD application.

OPTIMIZED FOR LINE 6 MULTI-EFFECTS
Take your tone even further.

Although the Shuriken Variax SR270 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 as well as amp, effect, and guitar model settingsall with the touch of a footswitch.

Guitar looks awesome. Plays awesome. I've had it now for 2 years and still play it every day. The variax system is truly remarkable. I've owned all the guitars that are in the system and as long as you have the fundamentals associated with playing a guitar, then you will have fun. This is not a guitar for someone learning how to play the guitar. This guitar is for people who want to have a guitar that does it all. This guitar must be paired with a Helix and a powercab. I'm giving you this information because you should not be wasting your time looking for tone . It's always been here the whole time.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
