Description
A rare piece of space-age technical genius, the Vox V251 Guitar Organ - the first of that rare crossover, built by putting the circuits of a Vox Continental organ into the body of a Vox Phantom guitar. First and foremost, it is a guitar. Six strings, a couple of perfectly matched single-coils, a 3-way pick-up switch, and a lovely smooth tremolo for some beautiful shimmer. Sounds great. And then its an organ. The strings become the "keys", activating the correct pitch when pressed to the fretboard. The open-string push-buttons allow you to bring in the open notes when needed. You can change the pitch of the guitar across four octaves, and go from church organ to space-age oboe or flute at the flick of a switch. All that said, it's not a gigging guitar - and I wouldn't recommend it for home or studio playing either. It works - but it works with lots of adjustment and maintenance, and it can be temperamental. So not something you can just pick up and play. But it's a wonderful piece of 60s design, and would sit perfectly and uniquely as a video or photoshoot prop, if you're looking for that retro space age feel. In very good condition for its age - probably explained by the fact that these were notoriously difficult to set up and maintain! Happy to meet personally in London to hand over. And if this isn't the one for you, check out my other guitar, amp and pedal listings on Fat Llama!
