phaseshift

I just checked Sweetwater, and while the links I published above are still going to "discontinued" pages, there are new listings for White, Black and Burst Variax Standards. If they'll honor the price I was getting from GC, I may cancel my existing order today and get one from Sweetwater.

I'm keeping my order for a white one at Guitar Center. If I don't get it by the end of August, will consider other options. I do see some on Reverb, but would like to take advantage of a 15% GC coupon.

My GC sales rep says it is discontinued. But he also says the rest of the Standards have been discontinued as well; which psarkissian said in another thread was only a rumor, and that I should not trust rumors.

I ask because it’s back on the Guitar Center site, with an expected-date of 8/20/19. Amethyst on Guitar Center

Is that so? Why aren't they listed on the website? Only JTV and Shuriken models are listed, not the Standard. Please clarify. Standard Sunburst: Discontinued on Sweetwater Black: No Longer Available on Sweetwater White: No Longer Available on Sweetwater

My advisor at Guitar Center online told me yesterday, he thinks the Variax Standard has been discontinued. They show black, white and sunburst as backordered into August...the same time frame in which they were showing the Amethyst limited edition, which was discontinued. There is ONE in their inventory, an open box unit at a store in Wisconsin, missing both battery and charger. Does anyone know? I only see a small number on Reverb. Does Yamaha/Line 6 still make these? I’d buy one on reverb, except I had a 16% off coupon for GC.

Answering my own question: Guitar Center called me today to cancel the order.

Are more on the way? Guitar Center thinks so, on August 10. I ordered one to replace my original Variax (500 before it was named 500).
