As Angela said, I will be jumping in here a lot. Right now I am at the Musikmesse trade show in Frankfurt, Germany.

We are going to be tweeting and facebooking and all that good stuff so be sure to check out the following.

Pressrelease

http://www.vettaville.nl/page.php?id=141#top

OK. Lets start with the questions.

Is this a vax II?

Or just a 1st gen vax in a boutique guitar?

It appears there is a new bridge design?

Is there a rechargable battery solution? Or do we still use AA?

Are the real pups routed to the 1/4 inch jack or can I switch that jack to be the vax output?

When will I be able to use VDI over wireless?

well it is the next variax.  the name variax II is just a name, line6 can call it what they like.  i think the James Tyler Variax sounds great.

there's been a lot of talk over the last 2 years about the next variax, and all the added benefits, including a better modelling section.  I can't believe line6 would put so much effort into this for 2 years and then leave the initial guts in it.  check the photos here: www.rowbinet.co.uk and you'll see it's got mag pickups so there's got to be some changes to it to work with them.

not sure about the batteries

i think the black know near the neck pup will be to choose what system (mag pups or variax) will go to the 1/4" output.  maybe we'll be able to blend them too, but that's a guess.

With special thanks to Horst.

Here some up close pictures of the new Tyler Variax

I must say those look puuuurdy!!!!

Well two of them do certainly - the LP (ish) one and the Ibanez RG (ish) one have got me drooling with anticipation - and I haven't even heard or played any of them yet.  Don't like the Strat (ish) one though - Sorry.  Two out of three ain't bad

I'll take the RED Strat w/Tailpiece...sign me up!!!  (I hope it won't cost too much )  I don't want any updates for my existing VAX...I want a new 2-CPU, 1 for the Models and 1 for altered tunings, so that I can alter any model...plus a Nice Neck and real pickups...and a rechargeable battery.  This will be the bomb!
