Vox / Ultrasonic V268 / 1968 / Cherry Red / Guitar

Hollowbody with built in COOL effects? YES!! Sign me up! Here we have a rare 1968 Vox Ultrasonic V268.  Vox built these guitars in Italy for two years (67-68) and marketed them towards ES335 fans. I guess they thought they’d throw in an on-board E tuner, fuzz, wah, bass / treble boost, and repeater as well as a Bigsby style tremolo while they were at it. This guitar surprisingly plays very well and has a comfortable feel all up and down the neck. All the onboard effects function as they should and sound very cool independently or mixed with one another. The distortion switch is slightly temperamental, but once on or off works perfectly. Very well balanced with a comfortable weight. Here’s your chance to own a very cool piece of Vox and vintage guitar history. Comes with a vintage gray Gretsch looking hardshell case.

 

Year: 1968.

Model: Ultrasonic V268

Serial: 348758.

Finish: Original cherry finish.

Case: Vintage gray Gretsch looking hardshell case.

Weight: 7 pounds 3 ounces.

Condition: Very good for it's age. There is some finish checking on the top and back. Dings, dents, and honest play wear. The back cover has a tear in it, electronics exposed underneath cover. Very, very small slight split in the fingerboard wood on the highest 3 frets (does not effect playability whatsoever).

Modifications: Strap locks added. Otherwise original.

Comments: Super cool and rare Vox.
