Expression of interest for left hand JTV Variax models

According to a reply on twitter, Line 6 will only release left hand Variax's if there is enough interest in the Line 6 Community. So come on Southpaws, get on here and express yourselves. Would you buy one? What model? What Colours? Should they vary to the right hand models?

I will buy a JTV 69 when it's released, in black. I so desperately want a tremolo!

69 Conversion

Yo,

I couldn't wait for a left-handed Variax so... I bought a JTV69 and had it converted.

I read in an earlier post that the piezo pickup leads would need to be re-ordered and my guitar tech said it could be done (if the leads weren't long enough there are other piezo saddles available.

Everything went as planned - the longest (trickiest) part was turning the modeling knob 180° so I can see the white dot so I know what model I'm on. (not a really big issue as I plan to change most models/tunings with my HD500)

So there you have it... If you don't mind looking like Hendrix you can have your cake now!

I have two right-handed Stats so I'm used to the controls on top.

Anyway, if you were wondering if it can be done, it can!

Hope this helps

Left Handed JTV

I would love to own a Left Handed JTV 69.

I would snap one up if they were produced.

My old Variax 500 is ok and useful, but the body shapoe is less than acceptible.

Also, I would dearly like a trem on a modeling guitar.

Music Radar Review of the JTV89

A recent online review of the Line 6 Variax JTV89 on online Music Radar weekly newsletter was sadly inaccurate!!! Their verdict stated:

"The JTV89's racy looks, slim neck profile and full two-octave fingerboard mean there really is a Variax to suit every player now"

Until Line 6 recognize there is an appreciable left handed community (plenty of noise out on Line 6's Forums), it is is simply not true that there is a Variax model to suit every player!!

Come on Line 6 ..... Give us a Lefty Variax!!!!
