VOX BC-V90-CR Bobcat V90 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Cherry Red w/ Hardcase

Product Information The VOX Bobcat and Lynx semi-hollow body guitars were produced in Italy during the mid-1960s. They featured unusual pickup configurations and a distinct look, which we have revived in the new Bobcat V90. As befitting their revival, we have kept the historic design of these guitars unchanged, but brought them up to date by improving their playability, controlling acoustic feedback, and raising the performance of the pickups. With the original V90 pickups, the Bobcat v90 provides a wide range of punchy warm tones while maintaining the glassy single-coil vibe. With a variety of tones and a comfortable feel, the Bobcat V90 is a great tool for any recording or gigging musician. Features New pickups with a plethora of tones The pickups in the Bobcat are modeled after the original Italian-made pickups, but with improvements in the voicing. The Bobcat V90 is equipped with two original soapbar style pickups, which utilize flat-pole pieces instead of the typical screw pole pieces. This allows players to achieve bright single-coil sounds while maintaining the warmth and punch that is synonymous with soapbar-style pickups and semi-hollow body guitars. This diverse sonic pallet allows the guitar to be perfect for a plethora of genres and styles. Improved playability Unlike the original models which came with a bolt-on-neck, the neck joint of the Bobcat v90 uses a set neck method that makes it easy to play even on the higher frets. The fixed Tune-o-matic bridge allows the optimal neck angle for easy playing, significantly improving the playability when compared to the original. Weight relieved spruce center block The semi-hollow body structure uses a weight-relieved Spruce center block, increasing sustain and dynamics, while being resistant to feedback even at high volume levels. This allows the guitar to pick up subtle and nuanced playing, without having to worry about feedback issues that semi-hollow body guitars are known to have. Furthermore, this construction of the center block also factors into why the guitar is extremely light weight, making it an ideal tool for gigging. Specifications BODY: Laminated Maple construction Weight-relieved Spruce center block 5-ply white top binding Single-ply white back binding 44mm (1 3/4″) rim thickness NECK: Mahogany Modern C-Shape 43mm (1 11/16″) nut width FRETBOARD: Premium Macassar Ebony fretboard Single-ply white binding 22 frets, 2.4 x 1.3mm (.095″ x .050″) SCALE: 635mm (25″) scale length TUNING KEYS: Grover® Sta-Tite™ tuning keys PICKUPS: 2 Vox V90 soapbar pickups with Alnico magnets and vulcanized fiber construction CONTROLS: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, with vintage-style knurled aluminum knobs COLOR VARIATIONS: 3-Tone Sunburst, Cherry Red, Black, Italian Green, and Sapphire Blue
