Just don’t play this one enough to warrant keeping it but it’s a crazy cool guitar so I wanted to see if there was any interest for it out there. Though I personally have no way of proving it, I’m told by the most reputable of people that this is originally a 1960s English Vox Phantom. The guy who sold it to me said because the pickguard was already modded or mangled he decided to make a project out of it and turn it into a a Vox Phantom Special VI, the famous guitar used by Ian of Joy Division and Will Reed of The Jesus and Mary Chain. So this guitar now has a newer pickguard and active electronics which are accessible through the red buttons you see in the pictures. These onboard effects are: distortion (kind of a fuzzy overdrive), Repeater (square wave choppy tremolo), bass boost, treble boost, mid range boost (with three selectable positions) and a gain boost that also adds more treble. All effects works and the guitar plays and sounds great.  A bonus is the extra quarter inch jack you'll notice by the effects buttons.  THis can be used to use this entire guitar as a multi effects box.  Yes you heard right.  Plug your les paul or whatever into the quarter inch jack by the buttons.  then plug from the normal quarter inch jack in the speical into an amp and wa-la!  You've just accessed every effect from the phantom special for any other guitar you choose to plug into it.  How cool is that??  I believe everything other than the pickguard and electronics are original to the guitar but please ask questions and do your research BEFORE bidding. I haven’t been able to find out anything more about this guitar than I’ve said here. I’ll probably put a video together for this one if there’s interest. I’ll certainly do a video for the buyer. Would of course prefer local pickup but will discuss the safest shipping arrangement with the right buyer.
