INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a new VOX guitar and for helping us
write the next chapter in the story of VOX innovation.
The history of modern music is closely entwined with the history of
musical instrument design and manufacturing techniques. The found-
ing fathers of Rock, Blues, Country, and Jazz didn’t search pawnshops
for relics of past generations—they simply chose the most practical
instruments and effective amplification available. In this golden era,
manufacturers set out to meet the needs of working musicians, and in
so doing created the guitars and amplifiers that made possible a musi-
cal revolution.
But time marches on. Today, many manufacturers are content to
produce replicas of earlier efforts. Others offer technology for technol-
ogy’s sake. VOX has chosen another path. In the same spirit that led
to the creation of the classic equipment that inspired us, we set out to
make the most practical, playable, versatile, comfortable and useable
guitar possible—for today’s guitarist. In our pursuit of this goal, we
used the most sophisticated design and manufacturing techniques
available. Not to offer an inevitably obsolete technology product, but
to create a new instrument, unencumbered by traditional limitations.
