Vox’s Bobcat Series Roars Back with Bigsby Vibratos, New Finishes
Upgraded semi-hollow models now offered in stunning Sapphire Blue and Jet Black.
Vox has spruced up its Bobcat Series of electric guitars with Bigsby vibratos and two new finish colors, Sapphire Blue and Jet Black.
The semi-hollow design is offered in two models, the V90, featuring soapbar-type pickups, and the S66, sporting a trio of single-coils, each with its own volume control.
Other features include maple plywood bodies with weight-relieved spruce center blocks, mahogany set necks, Indonesian ebony fingerboard, fixed tune-o-matic bridges and open-gear Grover tuners.
The guitars are offered with either a B70 or B700 Bigsby, depending on the finish. Both models come with a hardshell case and a neck adjustment wrench.
