DISC Vox MKV Phantom Electric Guitar, Salmon Red

Full Description

The original Phantom was released in 1962 and the unusual pentagonal body quickly appealed to guitarists looking for something a little different. Despite being discontinued in 1967 it remained popular and Phantoms have been played by artists including Captain Sensible, Dave Davies of The Kinks and Ian Curtis of Joy Division, whose white Phantom VI Special appears in the video for "Love Will Tear Us Apart."

This new reissue has been upgraded with a tremolo arm for greater flexibility of performing style, and three single-coil pickups for an ample variety of sounds. The basswood body is married to a hard maple neck and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, and the guitar is supplied with a soft case to protect it on the road.
