One sheet vintage
Vox guitars and amplifiers catalog or advertisement, most likely dating from the mid-1960s, specifically around 1966 or 1967. It was likely part of a fold-out poster series titled "Vox: it's what's happening" and was distributed in the US by the Thomas Organ Company.
The catalog features various iconic Vox instruments and sound equipment:
Featured Guitars
The advertisement displays numerous Vox electric and acoustic guitars produced in Italy by EKO under the Vox brand.
Teardrop Guitars: Prominently featured are the teardrop-shaped Mark VI 6-string and Mark XII 12-string electric guitars, famously used by musicians like Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones and Tony Hicks of The Hollies.
Phantom Guitars: The distinctive pentagonal (five-sided) Phantom models, including the Phantom XII 12-string, are also visible.
Acoustic/Hollowbody Guitars: Various semi-acoustic models like the Wildcat are shown, highlighting features such as the "Double T" bar and adjustable truss rod neck reinforcement system.
Featured Amplifiers
The bottom section of the catalog displays several Vox amplifier models, which were highly influential during the British Invasion era.
Classic Tube Amps: The amps that defined the "Vox sound," such as the AC15 and the legendary AC30, were popular choices for bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Solid-State Amps: The catalog also showcases the solid-state amplifier lines, developed in collaboration with Thomas Organ in the US to meet the demand for higher power and reliability, though the tube versions remain more iconic. |
