Originally produced in Italy during the mid-1960s. The Vox Bobcat featured unusual pickup configurations and a distinct look. Newly revived, the S66 features three single-coil pickups, which is unusual for a semi-hollow body guitar. These pickups can be used in combination for a wide variety of tones. Each pickup has its own volume control, offering the player six different combinations of sound: neck and bridge, middle and neck, middle and bridge, middle only, neck only and bridge.
This lets you enjoy the variations in tone by mixing sound from different pickups. Setting the pickups to the same level gives you a so-called “halftone” sound, and adding a bit of the middle adds a kind of thickness or a humbucker-type feel to the neck or bridge sound. The neck joint 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. These models feature lightweight Grover open-gear tuning machines that more readily conveys the string vibrations, making the guitar easier to tune. This mechanism offers stable tuning even when playing for long periods of time.
