Comparisons between Line6 Variax guitar emulations and some "real" guitars. Where possible, the tunes slected are "classic" examples of that guitar. Links to pictures of the recorded real guitars have been added in the event there are were questions about the "real" guitar used in the recordings.
- Telecaster (note that the "real" Tele is actually made of a Warmoth neck and body and has noiseless pickups.)
Tune: Nineties (original)
- Stratocaster (note that the "real" Strat is actually made of a Warmoth neck and body)
Tune: The Wind Cries Mary
- Les Paul Special
Tune: Crossroads
- ES-335 (Note the that "real" ES here is an ES-347 which has a 3-piece laminated maple neck, rather than a one-piece mahogany neck like a 335)
Tune: Room 335 (Larry Carlton)
- Gretsch 6120 (Two things to note: 1. The "real" example here has single coil Dynasonic pickups. The Variax emulation has Filtertrons. 2. The tune selected was not a "Gretsch" tune...I just happen to think it works that way.)
Tune: Oh Yeah (Johnny A)
- Rickenbacker 360
Tune: unaccompanied noodling
- Archtops
Tune: My Funny Valentine
