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.
INTRoDUCING THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN PLAYING EASE AND PERFECT SoUND…
VoX VIRAGETwo electrics that do justice to the VOX golden tone.
Innovative craftsmanship of two instant classics.
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 CUTAWAYNow 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.
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.

tonewoods. Each option of the finish corresponds to
