Selling my Line 6 James Tyler Variax JTV-59 as my setup has changed and I’m no longer using Variax functionality.

This is a fully working player-grade JTV-59 in Tobacco Sunburst with upgraded stainless steel frets and a recent professional setup/fret dress by a guitar tech.

The guitar plays very well and all electronics, modelling functions, alternate tunings and magnetic pickups are working correctly.

The stainless refret is a major upgrade on these guitars and should last an extremely long time with minimal wear.

Cosmetically, the guitar has a number of chips, scratches and signs of use consistent with being gigged and played. I’ve tried to photograph everything clearly. The pickup selector switch has some surface rust/pitting and the bridge piezo saddles show cosmetic wear, but everything functions as it should.

These JTV-59s are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially fully functional examples.

Included with the guitar is a brand new official Line 6 Variax battery, the original Line 6 battery charger, original manual, and the original Variax USB interface cable for connecting the guitar to a computer. Also comes with the original gig bag case which is very used with some broken handles and front pocket but still usable to transport the guitar.

Features include:

  • James Tyler-designed Variax modelling system
  • Alternate tunings on-board
  • Tyler-designed humbuckers
  • Mahogany body with carved maple top
  • Set neck construction
  • Stainless steel frets
  • Recently professionally setup and fret dressed
  • Fully functional electronics and modelling

Condition:

  • Player grade cosmetic condition
  • Various scratches and chips
  • Rust/patina on selector switch
  • Wear to bridge/piezo hardware
  • Structurally solid
  • Frets in excellent shape due to stainless refret

Great guitar for:

  • Helix users
  • Session players
  • Cover bands
  • Home studios
  • Anyone wanting alternate tunings and multiple guitar models in one instrument

Happy to provide additional photos or videos demonstrating functionality.

Collection welcome or can ship securely.
