A VOX Sixties Icon, Reinvented
Born in Italy in the mid-60s, the VOX Bobcat and Lynx stood out for their unusual pickup configurations and distinctive aesthetics. The "Bobcat V90" revives this vintage style while improving playability, reliability, and feedback resistance. It retains the period spirit but features more powerful pickups and optimized construction for both stage and studio use.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive semi-hollow, the Bobcat V90 is also suitable for motivated beginners. Its range covers blues to alternative rock, including pop, soul, and light jazz. The P-90s provide the necessary bite to cut through a mix while maintaining clarity for clean arpeggios and rhythms.
Sound Characteristics
The two custom VOX P-90 pickups, equipped with pole magnets, deliver precise attack, full midrange, and clear articulation in the highs. Neck position offers round, airy cleans; bridge position delivers a sharp crunch with the typical P-90 grain; the middle position provides a well-balanced tone for rhythm playing. The maple semi-hollow body enhances projection and definition, while nickel hardware and the Tune-o-Matic bridge ensure sustain and tuning stability. The 2 volume / 2 tone wiring allows fine control over dynamics and distortion.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain balance and playability, choose 10-46 nickel steel strings for 6-string electric guitar. A 335-style gig bag or hard case will provide secure protection. Add a comfortable strap and a quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable. A capo for 6-string electric guitar is also suitable.
