I never was impressed with self tuning guitars. No, I know they don’t exist I just grabbed a random sci fi term out of the thin blue air, how could there be such a thing as a self tuning guitar? The thought is proposterus! inside joke, just don’t comment on it. I’m just obliged to write about it
 Anyway, like I said these new innovations like self tuning, battery powered brain in a guitar or guitar modeling never was for me. Felt weird, strange, like future catching up with you. There’s a new Variax out. It’s called JTV and comes from Line 6 http://tylervariax.com/ Three models for different purposes. The difference this time from the limited number of clips I’ve heard is that this guitar can hold its ground without a battery, sounds good. Models seem ok too. I’m a little bit keen on this, don’t ask me why. I’ve got a H&K Switchblade with 10,000 preset sounds which is way too much already, I keep switching the channels old-school anyway. Take those presets times all the guitar models times all possible tunings and imagine how confusing that would get to me. I really don’t need this JTV, I really don’t like too many options in a guitar or amp. But still I’m a bit caught with this one. It’s not here in Sweden til autumn though so this decease will have time to pass. UK and USA has got them in stores I belive. Does anyone have an opinion on the new Variax JTV, maybe even tried one? That LP model is pretty sweet   -------------------- My bands homepage

LP look-alike, looks nice, but the others are indeed poorly designed. I guess they made them after Fender & Ibanez, but couldn't use the original shapes, so they made something that looks similar so people can relate too. Poor attempt if you ask me. I hope they don't play as good as they look.
