[NAMM] Vox Series 22 Guitars

See all NAMM Show 2011 news items »

The Vox Series 22 are double-cutaway models which borrow production techniques, styling cues, and use the same components found in the Vox Virage, Series 77, Series 55, and Series 33 guitars.

Series 22 Highlights:

Mahogany bodies with 3-D

SBE provides improved instrument balance

Inverse heel joint offers playable access to the upper neck

Vox design XLM compact humbucking pickups with two tone settings

MaxConnect aluminum bridge offers stringing access and wide intonation range

Sealed Vox tuners deliver enhanced tuning stability

Available in four finishes, the Vox Series 22 features a double cutaway design. The set neck features an inverse heel design and deep cut designed to offer unobstructed access to the upper frets. Position dot markers adorn the rosewood fingerboard.

The advanced MaxConnect aluminum bridge features extended saddle travel for flawless intonation with any gauge string. Strings slide in from under the back edge of the bridge to make changing strings easy.

The sealed Vox tuners are designed to offer enhanced tuning stability. The mahogany necks are finished with a rosewood fingerboard.

Each Series 22 guitar is outfitted with two XLM (Xtra Loud Mini) humbucking pickups. Use the pickup mode switch to choose a tight, punchy lead tone or more open, chordal voice, according to the company. Using the three-way pickup switch, you can select either pickup individually, or use them both together.

The passive analog tone circuitry offers both a Master Volume and a Master Tone control to refine your individual sound.

Available Finishes:
