At Guitarist, we're fortunate to be able to get hold of the newest gear first. But we feel we must share with you the sheer magnificence that is the new nylon-strung Variax Acoustic model. It´s just landed and is absolutely, fist-clenchingly, finger-kissingly, ear-caressingly excellent!
If there´s even the slightest bit of classical, Spanish or flamenco in your style, you need this guitar: it´s a doddle to set up, it´s great to play and sounds…well, you´ll have wait until the review, slated for issue 284, but it´ll blow your socks clean off.
Really, if there´s one addition to your live or studio set-up needs, it´s this guitar: be told.
“A unique octave bass fuzz with a built-in, 2-voice ring modulator”: The Maestro BB-1 Brassmaster is a super-rare bass octave fuzz from the ‘70s that sounds great on guitar, sells for $2,000+, and Behringer just made a $69 clone of it
“Maintain a consistently optimal neck setup, playability, and string action, regardless of changing environmental conditions”: Has Furch just made acoustic guitar setups a thing of the past with its new CNR System Active neck?
