A few inferences could be made from the post I have embedded:
- Line 6 is creating a Variax modeling based on the Strat, and not only recreating the sound of the guitar, but the original styling of it as well - though with a few differences as long-time fans can immediately spot. Does this mean we'll see a Trevor Rabin Stratocaster Variax model in the coming year? It would certainly be a cool (and coveted) collectible for many Rabinites.
- This is noted as a "Helix hang" so it could be that Trevor will be using the master processor/controller on the upcoming tour. And/or perhaps some of his classic tones will be added to their effects library.
- Possibly the Strat has been given a face lift of sorts before she hits the road! Or a replica has been created so as not to put the original at risk due to the rigours of traveling...none of us are as young as we used to be, after all. (Actually, the restoration had been mostly accomplished prior to this, if you examine the Strat in the portrait photo of Trevor from the Jacaranda booklet, it's primarily the same.)
