[Kerouac]

Vox 12-string 1960s

Wow! Hard to find in this condition.

All functions work but instrument is being sold as is due to age.

We did a nice set up on it and got the action nice and low!

 

[mystixboi1]

I just got sad looking at that. Me no likey

 

[jelloman]

Any guitar that makes Mystix sad MUST be destroyed with fire...cop0

 

[dodgechargerfan]

It's weird. I like it.

 

[baimun]

What is up with all those fugly knobs?
:chow2:

 

[Coralkong]

Sure are a lot of knobs and switches on that guitar, Walter.



It is pretty wild.
I bet you could smoke a joint and play with those settings for hours......

 

[Peeker]

I kinda dig it.
I'm sure the built-in effects sound great, too.

that said, I'd give it a go.
it's weird enough

 

[reverend1]

neat

 

[Deep Eddy]

It's pretty crazy, but I like it. I have no use for something like that, but I bet you can get some jangly guitar sounds from it.

 

[GergS]

I played a Vox Ultrasonic with all those buttons and gadgets. Cool guitar but a nighmare to troublshoot if anything went wrong with the electronics. The effects are pretty cheesy sounding too. I'm not a fan of the psychadelic stuff.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Oh hell yes. I'd LOVE to play this.* I've always wanted to check out a Vox Teardrop, and I'd especially like to play a semi.

*Though, because it's a 12-string, I'd never own it, never tune it, and never string it.

 

[Flatspotter]

I like the fact that it has a knob and a switch for each string, but other than that, no thanks.

 

[baimun]

You do realize, that is a 12 string electric banjo.


Looks like something Dr. Seuss would play.

 

[Peeker]

Looks like something Dr. Seuss would play.

all the better, IMO

I would use that to play rock
I would play that with my c...never mind.

 

[BlackCat]

I like the knobs.

 

[Tralfaz]

I love those old Voxes. But that headstock doesn't look like the Vox 12-string headstocks I'm familiar with.

 

[Peeker]

so what were they asking for this?

 

[Gary Blanchard]

all the better, IMO

I would use that to play rock
I would play that with my c...never mind.

[Peeker]

hey, I gotta be me.

 

[tgk03]

I like the guitar for its crazy knobs and tremolo bar (?) Not wild about the shape.

Changing the subject slightly... I've posted this project before:


A friend of mine in high school 25+ years ago was gonna fix it up. He lost the original bridge. I took the guitar to a music store to find a replacement. This is what they came up with:


I've been wondering what kind it is. I think it matches the Vox seen in here.
