DISC Line 6 Shuriken Variax SR250, Matte Black

Full Description

Unparalleled choice of sound

This is special. Guitars don't usually come with the immense sonic capabilities of the Shuriken Variax SR250. Thanks to innovative Variax HD technology, you've got control over how you sound like never before.

The instrument comes pre-loaded with dozens of digital voices to choose from. Simply with the twist of a knob, you can enjoy the sounds of a vast array of fretted instruments. Classic guitars are recreated, meaning the SR250 can give you raw Stratocaster power one minute, then gorgeous acoustic tones the next. You'll even be able to access a range of more exotic instruments for when you truly want to experiment with how a guitar can sound.

But there's more. You can even customise your own guitar voice presets using the Variax's free Workbench HD application. From your computer, you can intricately design a guitar sound using the intuitive interface, then load the voice into your guitar. You can save your settings in the guitar as a custom preset, and access them any time, on stage or in the studio. Total sonic versatility.

Any tuning, whenever you need it

The ultimate guitar to help you alter your tone. You'll be able to access a giant range of tunings, all digitally preloaded into the guitar. The SR250 comes with a stack of tuning presets on-board, meaning that simply with the twist of a dial, you can go from standard tuning, to open D, to whatever else you fancy.

Again, with the Workbench HD application, you're also able to customise your own tunings and save them into your guitar for future use. Altering your sound has never been this easy. Never again will you have to awkwardly re-tune your instrument between songs onstage, or when recording different tracks in the studio. This virtual capo is the ultimate in allowing you to craft your ideal sound.

Maximum protection

You always need peace of mind that your instrument is protected, especially when it's one as unique and brilliant as the SR250. Line 6 have included a premium padded gigbag at no extra cost, to ensure your instrument is safe and secure. The bag's durable padded quality prevents damage from minor bumps and scratches, and helps to ensure that your guitar stays pristine. Furthermore, it means you can take it anywhere. A handy strap and handle make it easy to transport your guitar. Perfect for those far-reaching tours.

Magnificent playability

There's nothing worse than a guitar that sounds superb but is clunky and difficult to play. Fortunately, the SR250 provides you with the optimum playing experience. It will feel amazing in your hands thanks to its unique body shape and contoured edges. You'll be able to strum the strings with complete freedom, the contoured edges meaning your right arm will sit comfortably over the guitar's body.

The SR250 also has a double cutaway body shape. This gives you immense access to the instrument's highest frets, ensuring you're never restricted in your playing. You can solo with total ease all the way to the very top of the scale. A complete joy to play.

Super-smooth ebony fretboard

The ideal fretboard for high-speed, dynamic playing. You'll glide across the frets with ease. The Variax SR250 has a premium Indian ebony fingerboard. This brilliantly slick tonewood is renowned for allowing you to slide up and down it for up-tempo playing. Its natural high oil content makes it supremely smooth, and is ideal for speedy soloing, dynamic riffs, and fast chord sequences. Made to rock.

Masters of sound modelling

Line 6 are experts at crafting instruments to give you amazing choice and power over your sound. Their Variax HD technology is the remarkable, industry-leading development that allows you to access the sounds of dozens of instruments, all in one guitar. Giving you the ability to emulate an almost never-ending list of sounds and styles, a Line 6 Variax is, quite simply, the only guitar you'll ever need.
