No More Line 6 Variax Guitars

Submarine Pickups started with the Submarine pickup, which picks up on 2 strings.  The inventor wanted an add-on pickup that would only pick up the bottom 2 strings on his guitar, so that he could use an octave pedal to generate bass notes for only those 2 string.  Thus he invented the Submarine to do that, and also designed it to be usable on the top side:

Then he came up with the Sub Pro pickup.... the eventually realized why not create a hex pickup too.

 

Craig has his own use cases that he posted about much earlier in this thread, but the Submarine guy's thought process seems to be evolving in a parallel direction, although unfortunately his demo only shows the "pan each string to its own side" idea.
