Extremely rare James Tyler Variax JTV89F® with Floyd Rose® bridge tremolo system

Who is this guitar suitable for, and why am I selling it?

The guitar is too easy to play for my taste because it has a very shallow neck, and I also play a lot acoustically. It's great for dedicated electric guitarists; otherwise, you'll just have to get used to it.

Basic information about this guitar:

I'm offering a James Tyler Variax JTV89F modeling electric guitar with two humbuckers, a piezo pickup, and a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo, included.

The guitar is flawless and in excellent condition. Unlike many other Variax models, this Variax guitar can also be played without the Variax system and battery; you can simply play normally using the two humbuckers, just like a regular guitar.

Description:

Especially for fans of heavier styles, modeling pioneer James Tyler offers the Line 6 Variax JTV89F, a true instrument for rock and metal. With two rich-sounding Alnico humbuckers, the JTV89F produces aggressively powerful tones in the neck and bridge positions, while the L.R. Baggs Radiance Hex piezo pickup provides clear, acoustic clean sounds. Thanks to its sophisticated Variax Digital Interface connection, the Line 6 JTV89F offers access to the entire world of Variax digital modeling technology, making exotic sounds like those of a dobro, banjo, or sitar easily achievable. Last but not least, the Line 6 Variax JTV89F red is equipped with a licensed Graph Tech Floyd Rose tremolo system for pitch modulation in both directions.

Fast playability, relentless sounds

The basic design of the Line 6 Variax JTV89F impressively demonstrates that this modeling electric guitar is aimed at the realm of powerful, high-gain sounds. Accordingly, the double-cut mahogany body features extra-wide cutaways to make accessing the upper frets as easy as possible. The Tyler Fast'n'Flat neck profile of the Line 6 JTV89F lives up to its name, offering extremely flat shaping for rapid position changes and a comfortable thumb rest for technically demanding shreds.

Line 6 Variax HD Modeling:

Using the VDI input of the Line 6 JTV89F, virtually any sound imaginable, from well-known and lesser-known stringed instruments, can be accessed at the touch of a button. This innovative technology instantly transforms an electric guitar equipped with two humbuckers into airy single-coil sounds or the timbre of a steel-string acoustic. Classic tunings like DADGAD or drop tunings, as well as various custom tunings, are readily available without having to adjust the instrument's tuning pegs. The guitar is programmed using the Variax Workbench HD software.
