The USA made guitars are considered by many to be the most playable versions of these instruments ever made. In the late 1990s, Vox reissued USA manufactured versions of the Phantom, Mark III Teardrops and Mando Guitars. The Phantom guitar received an international prize for best design when it was released.Įven though Vox discontinued the production of these guitars in the seventies, accurate copies of the Teardrop and other Vox models are still manufactured by Jack Charles of Phantom Guitarworks. The 9-string had three wound strings and three pairs of unwound strings. The Mark VI was released in three versions, as a 6-string, a 9-string, and a 12-string. It was followed a year later by the teardrop-shaped Mark VI, the prototype of which was made specifically for Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, using a non-tremolo Fender Stratocaster bridge. In 1962, Vox introduced the pentagonal Phantom guitar, originally made in Kent, England but soon after made by EKO of Italy.
