Key Features
A world of guitars in one. From Hendrix to Harrison, Slash to B.B. King - a guitarist is only as legendary as their instrument. The Line 6 JTV-69S Variax, developed under the watchful eye of world famous luthier James Tylor, uses Line 6's pioneering Variax HD modelling technology to recreate the output of dozens of your favourite guitar and pickup models within one instrument. Tylor custom-designed every nut and bolt of this outstanding axe from the ground up, from its three JT single coil pickups, to the exceptional shape and feel of its comfy maple neck, and lightning-fast ebony fretboard..
Say goodbye to on-stage tuning breaks. The JTV-69S features Line 6's incredible Virtual Capo technology, allowing you to switch tunings instantly, simply by turning one knob. Likewise, switching between any of the 28 preset electric and acoustic guitar models is simple and instantaneous, and by connecting to any of Line 6's POD HD series, you can also make your choice of guitar, tuning, and tone pot position footswitchable. With an expertly crafted, maple neck, the JTV-69S gives you a consistently fluid playing experience, with the classic guitar sound of your choice.

From searing humbucker crunch, to exotic sitar twang, the Variax's modelled voices produce not just the sound of each instrument's output, but the real feel of playing them too. From the way the volume and tone pots react, to tonal changes across the 6 strings, every possible parameter was measured, re-measured, modelled and re-modelled until even the most seasoned hollow-body aficionado would have trouble telling the difference between their instrument and the way it's recreated, despite the JTV's solid alder body. A true marvel of modern engineering.
A guitarist's guitar. Despite the innumerable tonal options that the Variax system provides, you can guarantee that a guitar designed by James Tyler sounds incredible and plays beautifully in and of its own right. The double-cut, 60's-inspired body allows unfettered access to all 22 frets of the ebony fretboard, which gives a naturally bright tone. The specially designed, three single coil pickup set simultaneously gives you the very best in smooth jazz strums, country twang, abrasive chug, and blazing solo potential.
Unprecedented tuning potential. Access a giant range of tunings, all digitally preloaded into the guitar. The Line 6 James Tyler 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. Once again, with the Workbench HD application, you're also able to customise your own tunings string by string, and save them into your guitar for future use. Altering your sound has never been this easy.
Powerful programming. The JTV-69S features the most up-to-date version of Line 6's Variax HD software. This offers you a greater variety of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and other instruments than ever before. The acoustic options in particular sound fantastic, thanks to the Variax's bridge-mounted LR Baggs Piezo pickup. For those looking for a sound that's all their own, Line 6's Workbench HD software opens up a universe of tweakable, save-able options, simply by connecting your guitar to your computer.
