Vox 1960's Tempest XII 12 String is Owned by Jake Tilley of Young The Giant

The styling of the solid body three pickup Tempest XII was reminiscent of a Fender Stratocaster that had been stretched diagonally.

The 1966 US Vox catalog described the Tempest XII guitar as follows: "12-string contoured body; 6 individual string bridges; quick flick 3 position pick-up switch; true spring action vibrato; adjustable master bridge channel; exclusive 2-way string damper; padded cushion on back; popular colors."

The 1966 US Vox price list indicated that the retail price of the Tempest XII was $299.90 USD with case. The body shape of the Tempest XII was shared with the two pickup Vox Hurricane six string and the three pickup Vox Spitfire guitars. All three guitars were named after British World War II fighter planes. The Tempest XII was produced for Vox in Italy by Eko.
