Vox Bulldog V241
Solid body electric guitar
|
Vox Bulldog electric guitar
There were two versions of the Vox Bulldog. Thomas Organ were selling a three-pickup Italian-made version with vibrato, listed at least as early as 1966 as their second most expensive solid body (after the Phantom XII stereo). It was a solid-body, with Mosrite styling and three single coil pickups. It was dropped from their price lists before summer '68, when Vox updated their range with new electronic (with effects) instruments.
Then, around 1970 a two-pickup, non-vibrato, model was shown in the "Giant Sounds" UK Vox catalogue. Still Mosrite shaped, and with the same ebony neck, although it is not clear where these guitars were actually manufactured. It may be, just like the early Vox's, that these were assebled from parts sourced from multiple locations.
The following description comes from the 1966 Vox catalogue
Ebony fingerboard; nickel-silver frets; 2-way string damper; entire body and neck hand-bound; sunburst. |

Vox Virage Double-Cut Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
The Virage DC is a solid wood semi-hollowbody guitar that features Integral Tonebar construction that keeps feedback at bay and yields the warm, singing resonance of a semi-hollow instrument with the focused attack of a solidbody. A custom, hand-carved neck joint with an inverse heel offers greatly enhanced upper fret access and comfort in the highest registers.Innovative features include an ergonomically curved bodies, contoured both along its length and across its width. This unique curvature hugs close to the player, and, when combined with the guitars' slightly smaller than typical body size and their arched-top profile, affords a comfortable right arm playing position unlike previous semi-hollow offerings, as well as overall unprecedented playing comfort. The result is a guitar that fits perfectly whether the guitarist is sitting or standing.The Virage DC employs the proprietary VOX Three-90 Pickup System, which relies on two triple-coil pickups to deliver clean, crunch and lead tones, similar to having single coil, P-90 and humbucking-style versatility all in one instrument. Its analog circuitry requires no batteries or active electronics, and provides hum free operation regardless of the tone selected. This pickup system was designed and built in the USA exclusively for VOX by DiMarzio. A three-way toggle makes selecting pickups quick and easy. Users can jump between clean, crunch and lead modes independently for each pickup with a quick flick of each pickup's 3-way mode switch. 
Vox Virage Single Cutaway Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
The Vox Virage Single cutaway is a solid wood semi-hollowbody guitar with a number of innovative features including ergonomically curved bodies, contoured both along its length and across its width. This unique curvature hugs close to the guitarist and when combined with the guitar's slightly smaller than typical body size and their arched-top profile, affords a comfortable right arm playing position unlike previous semi-hollow offerings, as well as overall unprecedented playing comfort. The result is an electric guitar that fits perfectly whether the guitarist is sitting or standing. |
