Big League Features, Great Price!

How do you follow up a guitar that broke new ground with both its innovative pickup system and its super-comfortable body carve? You do it new guitars that are priced to be more attainable and still offer very cool pickup options and unparalleled comfort. The Vox SSC-55 is available in either single-cut or double-cut versions, and it boasts the same MaxConnect aluminum bridge as the Virage, along with brand-new whisper-quiet CoAxe pickups. These pickups are capable of conjuring single-coil spank, smoky humbucking tones, or P-90 sounds at the flip of a switch. The set neck features an inverse heel design and deep cut that offers unobstructed access to the upper frets. The distinctive headstock and the bound fingerboard are inlaid with the winged "S" shape mother-of-pearl. The SSC-55 is a stunning value - and it's a real looker too!

Reviews

Lots of tonal variety

by Tim from Frederick, MD USA
October 6, 2010
Music Background:
Just got my special order Vintage Cream SSC-55 yesterday...it'll take sometime before I can truly rate this guitar. But, here are my initial impressions after playing for a couple hours.

... read more [+]> It's manufactured well and has lots of tonal variety...especially if you run it straight into an amp. The pickups sound really good at the humbucker and P-90 positions; not sure about the single coil position yet.

My dislikes at this point are just my opinion and may not reflect other players. I wish the fretboard radius had a bit more curve to it and overall playing seems to leave me a bit cold in the vibe department.

It achieves it's goal of trying to be many things to many people. I just wish I felt a little more "warmth" while playing it (one of those intangibles that make some guitars feel great). close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
