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.
