whipcote Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Is anybody else having a hard time getting a VARIAX? I ordered the guitar from L&M in Toronto and was given a two month delivery date. It was suggested I should pay up front because if I only did a deposit, if someone else came up with the cash I would loose out. So I did. And my order is #4 on the list for the exact same guitar. Anyway, that two month date was extended by two weeks only a few days after I ordered. And now that I am past delivery date, I finally was told my new date is the end of May (another 6 weeks!)....and it will be interesting to see if that date doesn't get moved as well. L&M says it's their distributor (Yorkville Sound) telling them this is all changes direct from Line 6. Yet I've seen a pic of a lot of variax waiting to get shipped and it's not uncommon to see posts saying they walked into a store and had no difficulty. This is beyond rediculous. Do any of you know a contact person in Line 6 to talk to about this? Or is there a Line 6 salesperson that will talk to me? It baffles me how this happens and I've been buying gear for more than 40 years. I could see to some extent how my helix was slow coming because it was a relatively new product. But the 89 has been out for what, 3 years now? This business of putting out the full cash for Line 6 equipment and waiting for extended periods of time is a crappy way to do business,no? If any of the 3 other people who ordered the same guitar from L&M are here, I would be interested to know how long you have been waiting and your thoughts on this as well.

Charlie_Watt Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sweetwater - fast service and they check it out pretty well before shipping it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whipcote Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks Charlie, but I live in Canada. The shipping, duty and exchange would kill. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well it ain't exactly an iPhone. It's as "niche" a product as there's ever been. I've still yet to see any Variax model in stock in a store, even the huge chains...and I'm within 10 minutes of 3 different Big Box music stores. I had no choice but to buy online and cross my fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
