About This Listing

1968 Vox Starstream 6-String in cherry red finish.  You heard it right a 6-string and factory original cherry finish.  Very tough to find guitar - last one was on eBay last November (item #251390270847 - and ours is priced LOWER than this one sold for).  Very few 6 strings in this color out there.  Guitar is original with no changes noted.  We have loaded 34 pictures of the guitar so please check them out for details regarding cosmetic condition of this guitar.  The truss rod has been checked and it works well.  Neck is nice and straight.  Frets show wear but still retain a nice playable profile.
 

We have been over the guitar and here are the "issues" that were found:


 
1 - All the effects work on this guitar when switched on however the palm lever that controls the sweep for the wah effect does not function as it should by providing the sweep as you move it.  This piece controls the sweep only - not sure if the contacts are just dirty or if it needs more serious attention.

2 - The input jack requires putting the plug in extremely firmly or it pops out repeatedly which is annoying.  This could be taken care of by replacing the jack but we wanted to leave it original and let the buyer decide.

3 - There is a crack on the side by the input jack near the binding that has some wood missing as pictured.
 
4 - Trem arm and spring are missing.

5 - There is a Porsche sticker on the top in between the pickups.  Probably can be removed we left it alone as I didn't want to take any finish off trying to remove it.
 

Those are the issues that were noted.  The guitar plays nice and the effect are over the top especially the fuzz and treble booster.  The fuzz has the most ridiculous grind we have ever heard and when you switch on the treble booster with the fuzz it's totally over the top with gobs of wonderful feedback.  Without a dout the coolest guitar we have had around here in some time.

Any question please ask and we will respond promptly.  One more thing guitar does not have original case.  Ships out in beat to death Kramer case it is pictured with (no worries it protects the guitar fine).

Shipping to USA is $39 fully insured with tracking.
