It looks like someone made a guitar out of a pick.

 

[Mark Wein]

I wouldn't mind having the 12 string version.

 

[paulskirocks]

For some reason, I love it... I'll just ignore the price...

 

[Kerouac]

Lovely!

 

[Coralkong]

Reminds me of a toilet seat.

 

[paulskirocks]

And, notice how the controls are nicely out of the way so as to not be hit while strumming wildly... +1

Like Mark, I'd prefer the 12-string version. And actually, I'd prefer the 5-sided Phantom to this one. But, still, this is a pretty decent guitar.

 

[Sad Navigator]

Not for that kind of money. Plus the necks on those vintage Voxes can require some adjustment. I've played some that, playability-wise, were pretty ungood.

Phantomguitarworks stuff is pretty damn good, and the playability is more akin to modern expectations.

My teardrop twelve is really comfortable and fun to play.

 

[Tiltsta]

Hate it.

I LOVE the look of Phantoms. But they're really hard to play sitting down. The teardrop is more manageable.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

Like. But as with anything vintage, too rich for my blood.

 

[Tralfaz]

I love the look of those classic Vox guitars, although for playablity sake I'd be just as happy with a knockoff. Most of the Eko-built Voxes I've played have had unpleasantly chunky necks.

 

[Denverdave]

Nice guitar.....stupid price.

I really want to like it, but I don't.

Reminds me of a toilet seat.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

There you go.

As for the Vox - Pass. Give me the Warren Cuccurullo Vox Guitar with the Wah body. That is killer.

I jammed with a guy who had one of them...not a bad player, but the pickups were so low output that he was overwhelmed volume-wise by everybody else...until we plugged him into an "evil" twin...great tones, shitty output, looks like a toilet seat...

...I'll pass, thank you...
