This rare 1960s Vox Mark IX 9-string teardrop electric guitar is a true gem from the golden age of Euro guitar innovation.

Made in Italy during Vox’s Eko era, the Mark IX features a distinctive teardrop body, three vintage single-coil pickups, and the unique 9-string configuration (with octave strings on the lower three courses).

It delivers bright, jangly tones perfect for psychedelic rock, British Invasion, and experimental pop.

A visually iconic and sonically unique vintage guitar that’s highly sought after by collectors and players alike, this Vox Mark IX remains a standout example of 1960s craftsmanship and style.

The guitar is all original and is in excellent cosmetic condition.  The necks on these always require shims to get them to set up well, which is the case here.  This allows the neck angle to be set to get better tension over the bridge.  This one plays as well as any Italian Vox I've had, and I've had a bunch.

The frets are in nice condition.  The original case is included.
