My eyeballs were pleased when I opened our test Bobcat V90’s hardshell case. They feature set-neck construction, a stable Tune-o-matic bridge, trapeze tailpiece, two pickup options, and are highly feedback resistant despite being a featherweight 6.8 pounds. Vox’s Korea-made reissues are a different breed in many respects. But they were stylish, generated distinct tones, and remain coveted by connoisseurs. They also featured bolt-on rather than set necks, which made the near-Gibson price harder to stomach for some customers. They were license-built for Vox in Italy by Eko and Crucianelli-theoretically to compete with Gibson’s ES series (though at $329 they were about the same price as the most affordable double cutaway Gibson ES).įirst-generation Bobcats were more prone to feedback and less consistent in quality than much of their Kalamazoo-built competition. The original Vox Bobcats from the mid 1960s are the kind of guitar our the kind of guitar our Wizard of Odd columnist Frank Meyers writes about.
