I was looking for my next guitar trying out a few Fender Strats and Tele's and on a whim, asked about a Variax. Dave the sales rep brought me a model with a humbucker and two single coils. The guitar wasnt charged but I decided to give it a try anyway because I felt that the modeling is probably a gimmick and wouldn't be anything I would use often. The guitar played like butter...sweet, sweet butter. The sound was as good or better than the Fenders I had been playing. I asked Dave if he had another Variax I could try to get the feel of the built in models. He brought me this model and the battery was about half charged. I played around with the amazing variety of sounds.The first model I tried was the built in 1960 Telecaster Custom and could not believe this was a digital representation. The built in 1959 Strat was spot on to the vintage Strat sound I have long drooled over. Along with these there are 27 other built in guitars...well...guitars, sitars, banjos, a Dobro and even a very cool sounding Danelectro. Heck, there is even couple of 12 string varieties built in! As cool as the built in instruments are, Line 6 includes software to build a virtually limitless number of guitars. Do you want a Rickenbacker with P90's...no problem. Have you always wanted a Gibson Les Paul with a Telecaster bridge and neck pick up? Easy...created and uploaded to the guitar in around 5 minutes...and let me tell you...if sounds awesome! If you can think it you will probably be able to build it. I have one small concern, the guitar neck is slightly different from a standard Strat neck so it will likely take a little to get used to it. Overall, this guitar succeeds as a Strat even without the mind blowing modeling. Once the modeling factors into the equation, this is simply a must buy for someone who loves to play around with sounds! I can guarantee within an hour after getting this home you will have crafted dozens of unique creations...most will sound simply amazing! I would like to give a big thank you to Dave for all his help and patience with this purchase!

I purchased this to match my HD500, and to simplify my tour rig. The range of tones is awesome, and the interfacing with the HD500 is excellent. The only weakness I have found in it is it's handling of the heaviest tones, which it doesn't offer an ideal emulation for. Otherwise, a superb choice for anyone looking to cover a range of styles and variety of tones.

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.
