Question: When you say "current" Variax, are you referring to the JTV 59/69/89 guitars? (I'm leaning toward the JTV 59) OR are there other Variax guitars that are included in that category? (Sorry for my newb inquiries. I am rather late to this world.) ALSO, are there a buy/sell pages on this forum or maybe other websites or sources other than eBay or Reverb? If so, I haven't found them. I was wishing to located a Goldtop JTV but those sites don't have any for sale currently. I will most def check out the support and D/L pages for sure. As I said, I want to wise about what I'm getting into and what my limitations might be before I purchase. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I am contemplating buying some used Variax units. One for Guitar and one for Bass. My bassist and I are looking for variation in tones as well as a convenient way to detune 1/2 step down when needed. I realize that we could accomplish some of this with pedals but, we prefer the convenience of having a control knob right on the guitars. I am worried that we cannot do any editing since the software seems to be obsolete. (as are the guitars) But, they are a good alternative in our eyes. I am guessing that more updated products and low sales were the culprit in the decision to discontinue. (What a shame) Anyway, are there any suggestions? I use WIN 11 (64bit) desktop computer. Asking for help with assurance that I would be able to tune each as well as take advantage of the modeling. (fixes are welcome and will be considered) I'd like to have my ducks in a row before I make any purchases of any used units that I see on Reverb etc. Thoughts anyone?
