VINTAGE SOUND AND SO MUCH MORE
Classic mojo. Modern innovation.
Everyone knows that a vintage Strat® has amazing tone. But for many of us, owning one is a dream rather than reality. Variax Standard delivers a rich, bold sound based on* a priceless ‘50s Strat®, minus the hum and buzz that can plague older instruments. Plus you’re not limited to the sound of just one instrument—you can access dozens of classic guitars and pickup types to find your ideal tone.
With Variax HD technology, you get an instrument that combines legendary guitar tone with pure versatility, playability and innovation—all for a price that’s within reach.
Variax Standard goes beyond what any other guitar can do.
CUSTOM-WOUND ALNICO PICKUPS
Pickin’ up good vibrations.
Want to take a break from guitar modeling and go old school for a bit? Variax Standard comes with three custom-wound single-coil Alnico V magnetic pickups that capture every nuance of your playing with pristine accuracy. If you want to go even further, you can also access over a dozen classic pickup types thanks to Variax HD technology.
PERFORMANCE UPGRADES
Ready to rock…Right Out of the box!
PRO-SCM PROFESSIONAL Setup
This amazing guitar has been built by Yamaha and they are well known for making great guitars.
The tonewoods used in the construction of this instrument are first class however, wood comes from trees and with the changes in weather conditions, humidity etc, these timbers often try to be trees again.
Necks can move, fretboards can shrink ever-so-slightly exposing sharp fret ends, etc, etc.
It is also impossible at the factory level to second guess the exact requirements of how a player likes their instrument to be setup, so they are setup within a defined tolerance as a sort of “one size fits all”.
We setup a lot of instruments.
This instrument will be setup for you before it leaves our shop. We will discuss your preferences with you and work towards providing that. If you are a beginner we will guide you and ensure that this instrument is as easy to play as it possibly can be.
Our Pro-SCM setup includes:
• Check that the action meets factory or your specifications
• Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
• Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
• Hand roll the fret ends to debur the sharp edges and polish the frets
• Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
• Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
• Tune to pitch
As a paid service this setup can easily cost $250 or more – it’s included in our price.
