When it comes to electrics, we've included 18 incredible instruments to take you from classic rock sounds to blues, country and more.

Whether you're performing or recording guitar, Variax gives you an amazing breadth of sounds for all styles of music.

After decades of partnering with other manufacturers to spec pickups for his custom guitars, James Tyler began winding his own pickups in 2007 – and has since released more than 30 variations. Drawing on this vast expertise, Tyler carefully designed the pickups for the JTV-69S guitar. A nod to the traditional format, JTV-69S features an SSS pickup configuration complete with three vintage-voiced single-coil pickups that are loaded with alnico magnets and wound to James Tyler's precise specifications.
