Modeling pioneer James Tyler offers the Line 6 Variax JTV-89F, a true instrument of rock and metal, especially for fans of the harder pace. With two juicy sounding Alnico humbuckers, the JTV-89F produces aggressive, powerful sounds in the neck and bridge position, while the L.R. Baggs Radiance Hex piezo pickup on the other side provides clear, acoustic clean sounds. Of course the JTV-89F offers the whole world of digital Variax modeling technology thanks to the sophisticated Variax Digital Interface connection, so that exotic sounds like a dobro, a banjo or a sitar are no problem for the modeling guitar.
Last but not least, the Variax JTV-89F is equipped with a licensed Graph Tech Floyd Rose tremolo system for pitch modulation in both directions.
The basic construction of the Variax JTV-89F proves impressively that this modeling electric guitar is aimed at the profession of powerful high gain sounds. Accordingly, the Double Cut mahogany body has extra wide cutaways to make access to the high register of the fingerboard as easy as possible. The Tyler Fast'n'Flat neck profile of the JTV-89F also turns the name into a program and, with its extremely flat shaping, provides for fast layer changes and a good thumb rest for technically demanding shreds.
Finally, the JTV-89F's VDI connector lets you access all imaginable sounds of well-known and lesser-known stringed instruments at the touch of a button. This innovative technology elicits airy single coil sounds or the timbre of a Western guitar from an electric guitar equipped with two humbuckers in no time at all. Classical tunings such as DADGAD or Drop Tunings and various own creations are also available at any time without having to operate the tuning mechanisms of the instrument. The guitar is programmed via the Variax Workbench HD software.
