The 1960s Vox Phantom XII is a distinctive electric 12-string guitar known as much for its sound as its striking design. Built by Vox during the British Invasion era, it features a unique pentagonal body shape that set it apart visually from traditional guitars. Sonically, the Phantom XII delivers the bright, jangly tone associated with 12-string instruments, making it a favorite for chiming rhythm parts in rock and pop music. Its slim neck and onboard electronics—often including multiple pickups and selector switches—gave players a wide tonal range, contributing to its cult status among collectors and vintage enthusiasts today.
