I just bought a used Variax Standard and I have to say this baby is in mint condition and it is an outstanding feeling and playing instrument. I have owned several different strats such as Fender American, Fernandes, Squier Classic Vibes, and this feels as good (action wise) as any of them - I love the satin neck - and it sounds just great with the modeling on or off. I also just picked up a mint condition HD500X but I have just started getting monkey, workbench, and the HD500x edit software going. I haven't even messed with the 500x yet. I have many hours of tinkering ahead of me. I have been playing the Variax through Bias FX desktop software which is very good but pretty limited and I am getting some very usable tones from all of the Variax models. It just takes some patience and some tweaking. I am very pleasantly surprised with the Variax Standard look, neck, and tone.
