This late 1960s Vox Phantom XII Stereo 12-string electric guitar is a rare and iconic piece of British Invasion-era history.

Featuring the unmistakable teardrop body shape, dual single-coil pickups, and stereo output capability, the Phantom XII delivers jangly, chiming tones that defined the sound of the '60s.

Made in Italy by Eko for Vox, this model combines retro style with unique electronics and smooth playability. Perfect for collectors or players seeking that authentic vintage 12-string shimmer.

This example remains in excellent condition.  The pickguard is a very nicely done reproduction.  The original guards for these guitars were troublesome - they are prone to shrinking and cracking. 

Someone also went to the extreme length to swap out all the original pots (which are pretty cheesy), perhaps when the pickguard got swapped out.  All the original pots are in the original case.  

The necks on these Italian Vox guitars always need a big shim to play well, as is the case here.  The truss rod is effective.
