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 65 Variax guitars in inventory, I have a lot of expertise with these unique instruments. When I retire (soon), I'll run this business full-time, offering deals, information, and products for Variax enthusiasts. Visit my Reverb Shop for Variax products (parts and accessories) or contact me here for expert repair services and unique upgrades. Look in the DOWNLOADS section for more information.

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 GraphTech "Ghost" piezo .
I make and sell replacement Switches for the V300/500/600/700 Solid-body Electric models.
