teardropDuring the heyday of the 1960’s and the explosion of “pop music” one of the rare non-American guitar manufacturers that was able to compete with the likes of Fender and Gibson was Vox.

Perhaps the best known design from the Vox guitar range was the Vox Mark VI or the “teardrop” as it was affectionately known. The teardrop had a bolt-on maple neck, a vibrato system similar in operation to a Bigsby – and three single coil pickups.

The obvious differentiator between the Vox and similar guitars was it’s teardrop shape. Tonally the Mark VI produces a sound not too dissimimar to a Strat – nice clean with punchy highs and a rich warm response.

The Vox Mark VI teardrop guitar gained some noteriaty when during The Ed Sullivan show Bryan Jones from the Rolling Stones was featured playing one.

Originally produced during the 1960’s and reissued during the 1980’s vintage teardrops are collectors items and remain highly sought after by enthusiasts
