Electronics need looking at as the sound cuts out if you knock the volume knob so the pots may need replacing. There is a fair bit of fret wear, plays fine but may need seeing to in future. There are a few scratches and dings on the body as pictured. The spring cover on the rear has had a replacement cover and the holes don't line up so has only been fixed with 2 screws as you would have to make new screw holes or find an original replacement to fit the existing screw holes. There is a crack to the same plastic cover in one corner. Missing vibrato / tremolo arm.
So needs a bit of TLC and then she would be a great player. Guitar is designed by British brand VOX and produced in the 80's in Japan, this one the 3500 version which has the maple neck and featured DiMarzio pickups which sound great.
Any other questions please ask.
The Vox Standard 25 Guitar (Models 3500 and 3501)
The design of the Vox Standard 25 guitar was obviously influenced by the Fender Stratocaster. The Standard 25 (seen above) featured a maple body with a black polyester finish, three pickups, a three way pickup selector, a balanced tremolo bar system and a bolt-on 22 fret neck.Although the name of the guitar might seem to suggest a 25" scale length, the scale of the Standard 25 was actually 25½." This 25½" scale was identical to the Fender Stratocaster and enhanced the tonal brilliance of the guitar. The fretboard was available in either rosewood (Model 3501) or maple (model 3500).
The Standard 25 featured three DiMarzio FS-1 pickups. These pickups offered significantly more output and slightly less treble than the standard Stratocaster pickup.
The traditional "paddle" head stock shape of 1960 era Vox guitars was retained in the Standard 25. The head stock included six individual sealed tuners.
