At my local guitar shop there is a Line 6 guitar routed for, get this, PASSIVE PICKUPS! It has a single coil in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. Is this not the epitome of irony and hilarity?

BTW, did it look kind of like this but with a different pickup config?Last edited by BS123; 10-21-2004, 11:03 AM.

Actually I think that would be a good idea.
The majority of the Line 6 models seem to be catered towards vintage stuff, if you could put more modern sounding passive pups in there you could cover yet more bases still.
That said its probably been modified post-factory

I know a few folks have done this. Also, Warmoth offers bodies where you can drop the Variax electronics in. They're routed for magnetic pickups and you can presumably switch between the two if not mix and match.Originally posted by LesStratmake sure that you own the gear, not vice versa.

The Line 6 Workbench software is pretty amazing. I've seen it in early forms at one of our Line 6 usergroup meetings. You can do things like change the cap values, put pickups on top of each other, or even on the neck itself, angle it any way you want (within reason). Once it's released, you will be nothing short of amazed!Institute Of Noise Music Productions

I canīt remember which Board it was on, but about 6 months ago somebody routed out his Tele for Variax guts (in addition to Mag. PUs) and IIRC achieved pretty decent resultsZerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.
