Thanks. It's basically a Lss Paul, as you might expect, except with just a single master volume and tone. The one other difference is that it can coil split so you can get single-coil tones too.

It is a "Deluxe," which sadly they don't make any more. The Deluxe, unlike some of the other models, does not have the "Sustainer" pickup in the neck, which is fine because it's kinda gimmicky and at any rate I would never use it. This model comes with a Seymour Duncan "Jazz" in the neck and "JB" in the bridge, which supposedly are the actual Seymour Duncan guy's favorite combination for rock playing. Which wouldn't matter to me, except that I agree with him that it is a very good combination. Slightly hotter than traditional PAF pickups, but still alnico and not too hot.

Honestly, I would put it in my top 5. Only downside is it's a little heavy.

I was always under the impression that I could only play one guitar at a time, so I always had one electric and one acoustic at any given time. I have the old American made B.C. Rich Bich (Sweet) and an Avarez acoustic (Also sweet) ... But I must admit, after 20 years, I am now in the market for a new electric guitar and I am looking at the Variax or Parker Fly. But I will welcome any advice or recomendations for my new guitar.

Nothing wrong with that, unless you're gigging. At an absolute minimum, you need a second electric as a backup. I never play without a backup, even in church. And if I have a really big stage I might even bring a second backup.

And being unable to play more than one guitar at a time doesn't erase the distinctions between ceramic pickups and alnico, humbuckers and singles, Strats and Teles, 6s and 12s, etc. It's fun to have a lot of different types to play.

Hi Brian, I haven't gigged in a long time. So long I forgot that I did used to bring a backup guitar. But as to the different variances in them as you fore mentioned, with todays technology you can probably get away with a Parker Fly and a Line6 3x pro. They do all the modeling for you now. What do you think?
