Vox was not afraid to take risks in the pursuit of developing imaginative products. Here is the history. In the late 1990s, Vox reissued USA manufactured versions of the Phantom, Mark III Teardrops and Mando Guitars. The USA made guitars are considered by many to be the most playable versions of these instruments ever made.

Vox created some of the most interesting guitar designs of the twentieth century; guitars like the Vox Phantom and teardrop-shaped Vox Mark are every bit as iconic (and at the time, futuristic) as American guitars like the Gibson Flying V or Explorer. Aswell as the iconic body designs, Vox were highly innovative in their use of new electronics, fitting guitars with built-in distortion, frequency boost, wah wah, tuning etc.The serial numbers of the guitars that were produced and sold via the authorized U.S. Vox dealer network during the official 2007 production run are as follows: Premium VOX Additions - Reinforced with a set of sophisticated Gotoh Tuning Machines and a VOX original chrome bridge, you've got enhanced stability and tuning reliability.

Vox mobile and desktop software were introduced with the 2015 VT20X and VT40X, offering players the ability to further customize sounds.
