And the fancy headstock logo (pardon the dust!):

That's amazing, Randy thank you very much.

Where do you get a licence to drive it?? That's a knob-twiddler/switch-flicker's delight!

Randy I know that some of the guitars at the IKO factory found in the '80's were NOS so to speak, but some were then built with the hardware that was discovered at the same time!

I wonder how many made it around the world of these "rediscovered" models?
Loads around London's West End at the time, good looking guitars but not top quality & hard to play when siting down I remember?

That Phantom site looks cool, I assume the build quality is better than Vox IKO? (to be fair these were not expensive orginally so should be judged on the retail price charged in the '60's), If so I think they will do well!

Howard: This guitar is loaded with goodies, but Vox's 'land of a thousand knobs' is their Phantom XII stereo guitar. Too many to count!

John: In the 1980's, I recall seeing a number of NOS 1960's Vox guitars at guitar shows here in Texas. Also in the 1980's and 1990's, Vox began building guitars again. I think some came from UK or Japan and others came from the USA. Some were non-descript and others were in the famous Teardrop and Phantom shapes. I really like the new guitars from Phantom Guitar Works. They are better than any of the originals I've owned. And better yet, they are readily available!
