Unique style, extended scale and masterful modeling.
Emerging from intensive collaboration between Line 6, Yamaha Guitar Development and Twelve Foot Ninja guitarist Steve MacKay, the Variax Shuriken SR270 offers the incredible versatility of the Variax modeling system, along with the expanded range of an extended 27" scale neck. With a unique body shape and artist-customized guitar model and tuning presets, this is an ideal axe for guitarists who are looking towards the future possibilities of the instrument. The possibilities expand even further when paired with Line 6 modelers like the Helix, POD HD or Firehawk.
