(More customer reviews)UPDATE: I wrote the review below 2 years ago. Lately this is what has happened: I took the Variax 300 to a gig to do an acoustic set. I installed fresh batteries and headed out. On stage the instrument failed to produce any sounds at all. I quickly changed out the 6 AA batteries for a fresh 9V alkaline and popped it in. It seemed to work until the middle of the first song--then nothing. It ruined its first debut outside of the studio.
I inspected the obvious connections inside the guitar, the jack etc. but found nothing out of the ordinary. I guess I'll have to take it to Line 6 and have them look at it. Unfortunately I will never be able to fully trust the guitar again. From now on it stays in the studio where it belongs.
For this reason I changed the rating to 3 stars instead of 5. The rest of the review below is still valid.__________
The Variax 300 Steel is an acoustic guitar that must be played electrically. Despite the irony, it has the nicest sound(s)I have ever heard from an acoustic guitar.
It uses digital sound modeling taken from sampling two of the world's classic guitars. You turn a dial one way to emulate the sound of a bright sounding Martin guitar or turn the dial the other way for the big sound of a classic flamenco guitar--or dial up anything in between. There are also simple slider controls that allow you to imitate various mic placements and even various room acoustics.
The Variax 300 will give you a wide variety of acoustic guitar sounds created by computer modeling. It's quite amazing.
Because of the way the pickups are used you get a well rounded variety of guitar tones with none of the string noise or feedback that you would normally get when electrifying an acoustic guitar. You get room filling, very pleasant sound.
The Variax 300 is built like an electric guitar and is easy to play and compact so it fits well in any home studio. Nice sounds from the Variax 300 Steel.
