I think it may be even possible with an experienced Luther though I'm not sure its worth it. Variax shouldn't be a great guitar, maybe you could get a better "normal" guitar for the price you would pay for variax+pickup+luther?

HA!!! Sometimes it's really good to not heed every warning!!!
I bought the Variax, had the luthier install 2 Seymour Duncan SH6 Humbuckers and the Guitar is AWESOME!!!!! Seriously it's not a bad guitar to begin with being a japanese model with Mahagony body with Ash top... already came with a sweet sustain, but because of using piezos as pickups for the simulation did not really respond like a real guitar... now I can simulate an acoustic guitar (and sitar ;-) ) and use full blown distortion on the humbuckers... I am REALLY HAPPY!!!! Anyway you can see a pic here my luthier has posted!!! For sure I am going to use this guitar on the next Kamala album!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!  Variax 700 with Seymour Duncan SH-6 |

QUOTE (Igorrr @ Sep 4 2010, 11:30 PM) OK first day playing around and only the last seconds using the new pickups with distortion.... but I am really excited!!! Peculiar that the new Variax line comes with additional humbuckers ;-) EDIT: played a little more with the Variax... starting with the distortion all solos are the duncans. Hey , very good job with adding the pickups. Guitar cleans sound interesting , maybe a bit thin for my tast, though solos on Duncans sound really awesome! Great playing btw! Have fun with this unique instrument
