Vox Re-Introduces the Mini 12 Guitar
 January 28, 1999 In response
to requests from collectors and aficionados, VOX announces the recreation of
the Mini 12 Guitar. Originally introduced in 1963, the Mini 12 joins the ranks
of other recently re-introduced VOX classics such as the droplet-shaped Mark
III (with either a fixed bridge or Bigsbyª tremolo system); the Mark III
Custom; the Mark VI; and the 12-string, droplet shaped Mark XII.
The 19-fret VOX Mini 12 Guitar comes fully loaded with vintage alnico pickups.
Its tuning and fingering are the same as a standard 12-string guitar, except
that it is tuned to "A" instead of "E." The Mini 12 features
fully adjustable intonation for each of the 12 strings, a solid two-piece hardwood
body with maple neck, and exact recreations of the original chrome knobs and
pickup covers.
"The reissues of original VOX electric guitars combine the VOX styling
and sound that helped shape and influence modern music, with the superior playability
resulting from up-to-date improvements," commented Mitch Colby, Senior
Vice President of Korg USA, the exclusive distributor of VOX in the U.S. "These
faithful creations will satisfy hardcore VOX loyalists, while meeting the needs
of today's most demanding musicians."
The new VOX Mini 12 Guitar is available in Sunburst, and will be available
in March 1999. The suggested retail price is $1000, which includes a hard
case. Add contact here |
