i used to own a Variax 600...it was a nice axe to play with..just that...although it immulates the guitars its suppose to be immulating well...the "feel" of the actual guitars isn't there...the variax 600 has a neck like a strat..so when u play the les paul models in it..u lack that "feel"...thats why i sold it off..the variax workbench is amazing though...haha...u can imagine putting pick-ups wherever u can imagine or want them to be..haha
