International Buyers will be required to make all shipping arrangements on their own, and assume all the costs thereof. The ORIGINAL ORGAN CABLE (VERY RARE! is also included, and it's also in perfect working condition.Īs for the rest of the guitar, it's in VERY GOOD condition.Īnd i'll package it securely and safely and ship it anywhere in the USA for $1. The Power Supply has been restored and upgraded to accept US voltage, and it works fine. The case is wholly intact, but I reinforced its exterior with duct tape because the original cloth was shredding from age. The exterior of the original "OHSC" case isn't in the greatest shape, but the inside of the case is a lovely purplish plush and it looks practically new. Generally speaking, it was greeted with sarcasm and derision upon its release, and quickly abandoned by the wiser folks at Vox. It's working fine, but the "music" it makes when its played is somewhat laughable. It's a museum piece, really, and perhaps the greatest oddity in the entire VOX catalog. This is not an instrument one really "plays". I played it once, and put it away for 30 years. This ULTRA-RARE instrument was previously owned by FRED FRITH. It's been in storage since I acquired it from Fred in 1985. PINK FLOYD used it to great effect on their classic song INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE. The second one went to BRIAN JONES of the Rolling Stones, who also declined to endorse it. The first one Vox made went to the JOHN LENNON, apparently in the hopes that he would agree to endorse it, but Lennon declined to do so. Very few of these Vox oddities still exist today. So.this is a white 1966 VOX GUITORGAN (or " Guitar Organ", or PHANTOM GUITAR ORGAN) Model # V251 manufactured in the U.K. Crazy, right? The neck & body of this guitar actually contains much of the guts of a Vox organ. It was modelled on the thinline semi acoustic models such as the Gibson ES335, but without the set neck (it was a bolt-on), and central maple block (it was completely hollow). Then the crazy people at Vox decided to add an organ to it. The Vox Ultrasonic, or V268, was one of Voxs late sixties semi acoustic models sporting built in electronic effects. The origins of this highly unusual instrument begin with the highly coveted VOX PHANTOM Guitar.
