IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE TONE.
Vibrant and versatile, with clarity, presence and tonal complexity unlike anything heard before, it was the sound that created and crafted what we call Rock and Roll. From the humble innovations of Tom Jennings and Dick Denney, it became the choice of the masters and the most nuanced, most sought after and most envied of tones.

Quintessential. Classic. VOX .

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. Now VOX is no longer just the tone you hear, it is the instrument you feel.

Doing this meant re–imagining what a fine guitar should be. It meant crafting an instrument with which the player would never have to fight for fit and feel. An instrument that would require no compromise in comfort. Finally, the frustration of being limited to a single tone is a thing of the past. Now, for any gig, all it takes is one instrument to get the job done.

VIRAGE 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.

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 – same as that found in the DC – 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.

BRILLIANT FINISH

VOX gets vivid with only the finest hand–selected tonewoods. Each option of the finish corresponds to the tonewood your Virage is made from:

Deep Cherry – Honduran mahogany body
Ash Blonde – Swamp Ash body
Vintage Sunburst – Swamp Ash top, mahogany back
Jet Black – Available in Honduran mahogany, ash and ash top with mahogany back

VOX Custom Controls

Custom tuner buttons, switch caps, knobs and pickup covers show off the signature style of these instruments. Highest quality pots and tone capacitors allow for smooth volume swells and wide tonal range.

Custom Carved Neck Joint

Three–90™ Pickup System

This exclusive new technology delivers a massively diverse range of classic and modern tones for the ultimate in sonic versatility. It’s almost like having a single coil, a P90 and a humbucking pickup all in one! Yet regardless of which distinct tone you demand – clean, crunch or lead – the VOX Three–90™ triple coil pickup allows for quiet operation in all modes. Analog circuitry throughout. No battery power or active electronics of any kind.

Integral Tonebar™ Construction

The unique integral tone bar construction lets you capture the warm, singing resonance of a semi–hollow with the focused attack of a solid body.

Contour Curved Body

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.

Specially Designed Aluminum Bridge

Advanced Full Contact™ design delivers thick rich tone with clear harmonics. Extended saddle travel ensures perfect intonation for any gauge string. Easy string loading from the back edge of the bridge makes changing strings effortless.

3–way toggle makes selecting pickups easy pie. Fly between clean, crunch and lead modes with a quick flick of the thumb and index finger on the two three–way mode switches, or slam switches in tandem to the same mode. CTS master volume and tone controls (using premium capacitors) guarantee smooth operation and long life.
