At H & H Guitars, I specialize in buying, selling, and repairing Line6 Variax* guitars, with a focus on the "Gen 1" models (300/500/600/700). With over 63 Variax guitars in my collection, I have a lot of expertise with these unique instruments. In retirement, I'm excited to run my own business, offering the best deals, latest information, and newest products for Variax enthusiasts. Visit my online storefront for all your Variax needs, from parts and accessories to expert repair services and unique upgrades.

The repair shop at H & H Guitars is equipped with the latest in technology. We are fully capable of SMD repair work, and we use innovative cameras with built-in diagnostic equipment for diagnosis. Soldering/Desoldering equipment is state-of-the-art vacuum-driven, and we have a full "hot air" rework setup.

Contact me for a list of custom upgrades that I have developed over several years of repairing Variax guitars. I have solutions for some well-known problems such as bridge (piezo) grounding issues.
This photo shows a V700 with Graph Tech "Ghost" saddles as an upgrade.
I source parts to use in repair work, and I have located sources for most of the parts that I normally need to replace (potentiometers, switches, piezos, etc.). Some are OEM (Line6/YGG), and some are after-market. I sometimes sell parts, but I can usually provide a source.
Contact me with questions (below).
I make and sell replacement Printed Circuit Boards for the V300 Bridge (Hard-Tail) and the Vibrato Bridge on the V600/700 "Tremolo" models.
These PCBs are an upgrade because they incorporate "Ground" points for each individual piezo element. This is especially important when upgrading to the Graphtek Ghost elements.
I make and sell replacement Volume and Tone Controls and Model Switches for the V300/500/600/700 Solid-body Electric models.
I can also repair many of the JTV controls.

The Replacement/Upgrade Controls I make are based on all-new parts and PCBs.

I build custom accessories for the Variax, such as the
