Title: Vox Guitars
Post by: tomjackson on November 24, 2010, 03:24:06 PM

Any Love for these?

Didn't really think too much of tthem at first but getting a bit of GAS for the SCC-55.  They look fairly classic but a bit different.

Perhaps I'm coming down with something.....

I don't like the look of them personally, and I can't put my finger on what it is I don't like...

I know what you mean, that's what I've always thought until just recently.

I was looking at this and thinking well I really need a Les Paul...

But then thought shouldn't I be more Imaginitive.  I like Duesenburg 49ers but they are too expensive so I was led to the vox for something Les Paulish but different.

Then I woke up this morning and realised my £900 budget was imaginary anyway....

They're getting good reviews, but they don't really appeal.  I think it's mostly the looks, plus the controls look fiddly.

The double cut doesn't grab me at all, but I the single is vaguely appealing...

Not enough to experience any rumblings though! :lol:

Looks so so. Pickups presented as the best of all worlds. Don't know if this versality comes with good tones. Not really cheapo's.

i see the cheaper ranges are also doing it, they look really cheap on the vox website but other photos show them in a much better light
