Vox Bobcat V90 Cherry Red

Essential Information About the Vox Bobcat V90 Cherry Red Guitar

• Sixties VOX Spirit: iconic look of Italian semi-hollow bodies, updated with modern playability.


• Two Vox P-90 pickups: sharp attack, edgy tone, and expressive mids, perfect for crisp vintage sounds.


• 335 double cutaway format: comfortable access to the high frets and excellent versatility for both rhythm and lead playing.


• Designed to reduce feedback: easier to control at high volume than older generation semi-hollows.

A faithful reissue, designed for easier playing today

The VOX Bobcat and Lynx "quarter body" models produced in Italy in the mid-1960s stood out for their unique aesthetics and unusual pickup configurations. The Bobcat V90 Cherry Red retains this visual identity without altering it, while improving handling and stability when amplified. The result: a semi-hollow with vintage character, but better suited to today's demands (power, control, comfort).

Who is it for, and in which styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive semi-hollow, equally at home in blues, vintage rock, garage, soul, and indie. The 335 format and double cutaway provide a good balance between "hollow" feel and precision, with accessible 22 frets appreciated for leads high up the neck.

Sound

The maple construction (body and top) delivers a quick response, defined highs, and firm lows, ideal for maintaining clarity in chords. The mahogany neck adds warmth and sustain, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack and clarity, especially on pick-played notes. On the electronics side, the two Vox P-90 pickups offer a harmonically rich tone, between the brightness of a single coil and the density of a thicker pickup, with a wide range of nuances thanks to the 2 volume and 2 tone controls, and a 3-position selector switch to instantly switch from smooth neck to biting bridge, or a blend of both.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To equip it safely, you can consider a set of electric guitar strings (6 strings) and a standard guitar strap to secure playing while standing.
