Vox Spitfire electric guitar
The Spitfire (not to be confused with the British-built Spitfire Acoustic, a teardrop-shaped hollowbody) was an Italian-built Vox, manufactured at the E.M.E Vox plant in Recanati, for the American market. It was more or less a copy of the Fender Stratocaster, and was never as popular as the Vox teardrop and Phantom styles. See also the two-pickup version, the Vox Hurricane, which, like the Spitfire, was named after a British World War II fighter plane. The following description comes from the 1966 Vox catalogue
Contoured body, quick flick 3 position pick-up switch, 3 pick-ups, rosewood fingerboard, true spring action vibrato, adjustable master bridge channel, 6 individual string bridges, sunburst or popular colors. 2-way string damper. |
