Essential Information About the Vox Bobcat V90 Black Guitar
- 335 Semi-hollow Body: the grain and airiness of a hollowbody, with more control at high volume.
- Two Vox P-90 Pickups: crisp attack, expressive mids, and a wide palette from blues to rock.
- Modernized Playability: mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and dual-action truss rod for precise adjustment.
- Sixties VOX Look: Italian-inspired aesthetics from the original models, black finish, and nickel hardware.
A Reissue Inspired by the 1960s Italian VOX Models
The Bobcat and Lynx "quarter body" guitars produced in Italy in the mid-1960s stood out for their bold style and uncommon pickup configurations. The Vox Bobcat V90 Black carries this vintage DNA by preserving the original visual spirit while incorporating modern improvements: more comfortable playability, more powerful pickups, and a design engineered to be less prone to feedback than a traditional semi-hollow.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
With its P-90s and semi-hollow format, the Bobcat V90 targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive electric guitar capable of moving from clear, dynamic playing to gritty overdrive. It excels in blues, rock, garage, indie, soul, and pop, and suits both biting rhythm parts and singing leads. Its double cutaway facilitates access to the upper frets for more modern licks.
Sound
The combination of a maple top and body provides definition, a sharp attack, and a strong presence in the upper mids, ideal for clarity in a mix. The two Vox P-90 pickups deliver an open and lively tone: thicker and grittier than a single coil but more airy than a humbucker. The neck pickup favors round, warm sounds, while the bridge pickup adds bite and projection. The passive electronics, with 2 volumes and 2 tone controls plus a 3-position selector switch, allow easy shaping of dynamics and brightness, from crisp clean to articulate crunch.
