Vox is most famous for making the AC30 guitar amplifier, but they also made the iconic “teardrop” guitar, which was officially named the Mark VI. The Vox Mark was released in 1963 in three versions: 6-string (Mark VI), 9-string (Mark IX) and 12-string (Mark XII). The 9-string had three wound strings and three pairs of unwound strings. Besides their iconic teardrop shape, these guitars were known for having three single-coil pickups, and Bigsby-style vibrato tailpiece, and a short scale length. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Tony Hicks of The Hollies, and Captain Sensible of The Damned famously used the Vox Mark VI.
