At the Winter NAMM
Show in Anaheim, Vox
presented their new
line of guitars....Virage
by Vox. They'll be

coming weeks, but
we're excited about
what we've seen and
heard thus far.
Also, Vox has set up
a killer mini-site
just for the Virage
Guitars, and inside
there you will find
detailed information
concerning the
construction and
building of the new Virage
Guitars, specs and
features of the new
Dimarzio USA
Three-90 Pickup
System and detailed

manufacturing
process of these
killer guitars.

VOX amps were instant legends,
first as the defining sound of
the British Invasion, then the
entire rock world.
The numbers don't lie. VOX is
the sound heard on over a half
billion records throughout music
history.
Fifty years after creating the
original, nuanced sound that
inspired a generation, it is
time for the holy grail
of versatile tone to perfect the
other side of the performance
equation.
Here are a
few pics of the Virage demo our
rep brought by the store on
5/27!
Now VOX is no longer just the
tone you hear, it is the
instrument you feel. INTRODUCING
THE
MISSING LINK BETWEEN PLAYING
EASE AND PERFECT SOUND....VOX
VIRAGE
Two electrics that do justice to
the VOX golden tone.
Innovative craftsmanship of two
instant classics.
Vox Virage SEMI-HOLLOW SINGLE
CUTAWAY
Now introducing a single cutaway
that redefines the current standard.
Featuring the same solid wood,
fully carved contoured body
construction as the DC, the new
Virage Single Cutaway is the
superior
choice for immediate comfort,
immaculate balance and awesome
playing ease.
The unique integral tone bar
construction is the same as that
found in the DC. It lets you capture
the warm,
singing sustain and richness of a
semi-hollow while unleashing the
focused attack and articulation of a
solid body just the massive sonic
palette a player needs to innovate
his or her own signature sound.
The Virage Semi-Hollow Single
Cutaway also features the exclusive
passive Three 90 pickup system
and a hand carved neck joint for
superior upper fret access.
All
models feature master craftsmanship,
the finest hand selected woods,
beautiful finishes and custom
pearl inlays on the fingerboard and
headstock and are extremely feedback
resistant whether played
through a small combo amp or full
stack.
Virage
by Vox SEMI-HOLLOW DOUBLE CUTAWAY
Advancing the art of the
semi-hollow, the Virage Double
Cutaway delivers seriously rich tone
with a
unique three-dimensional ergonomic
design for perfect balance and
ultimate playability. This new
distinctive
design features solid wood
semi-hollow lightweight construction
that lets you perform with ease
without
sacrificing the tone you need.
Infuse this innovative comfort and
ease-of-play with our
passive hum-free Three 90 pickup
system,
and what you've got is an instrument
that far surpasses any semi-hollow
currently on stage.
Manufactured in the USA by DiMarzio,
this exclusive pickup system is the
first-ever to offer a versatile
range of distinct tones - clean,
crunch, and lead in each pickup.
It's almost like having a single
coil, a P90 and a humbucking pickup
all in one.
The exquisitely crafted Double
Cutaway also features a hand
carved neck joint for unfettered
access
to the upper frets.
PERFECT FIT. PERFECT FEEL.
Expressing
your musicality at its most
immediate and visceral means
feeling relaxed with your
instrument.
The innovative contouring of the
new VOX Virage guitars allows
every player to do just that:
relax for better
control and better performance.
Using
advanced three dimensional
carving techniques, both models
come to you smoothly curved and
deliciously contoured for
perfect balance and unparalleled
playability. Whether sitting or
standing this new
ergonomic design gives you
incredible solid body comfort
while sustaining that sublime
semi hollow
sound and feel.
