The story

The Variax 700 made in the Japanese Fujigen factory is a well nice bit of kit, even though the Variax concept isn't everyone's cup of tea. We did a transplant of all the Variax circuitry into another guitar leaving us with the rest of the guitar.

So it started off looking like this once we had stripped it of its circuit.
I love it's shape and the arch top - kind of like a PRS in many ways - great REAL mother of pearl inlays and good fretting etc
Also has a piezo equipped LR Baggs tremolo, which could be added to a circuit for an acoustic pickup too



Anyway - we did this: cut out carefully for two humbuckers
You can easily see that you could have a volume, tone and a 5 way megaswitch giving lots of tasty sounds, and still hvae room for a piezo circuit and volume knob for that 
Heck - you could adapt it to a MIDI controller as it's easily possible to get all 6 piezo outputs separately



Headstock looks good , but could be refinished if you wish to do so


Nice Gotoh tuners too


Plenty of room in the back for circuit and batteries too - we put a new plate for the jack


Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
