Vox guitar dating. By pat, 2 years ago. Vox guitar dating. This is tricky, Pat. Vox serial numbers weren't planned out too well, nor is there a lot of information on the rhyme or reason for the numbering that occurred in Britain or in the Italian factory. Mix - '62 Vox AC30 - LP, Strat, Tele & Ricky YouTube Crash of Giant RC B 25 model from Ziroli plan - Maiden Flight disaster - Duration: 11:06. ScaleJetFred Recommended for you. VOX did not observe or utilize standard dating procedures nor does the serial numbers, or cosmetic features on VOX products represent any concrete dating information which we are aware of. Many VOX products have been modified or canablized over the years so accurate dating can be impossible.
Here's what Vox have to say about the AC Limited Editions. AC4C1-12-MB / AC10C1-MB / AC15C1-MB / AC30C2-MB. VOX’s core Custom Series line is now available in a limited-edition Maroon Bronco colour scheme. The addition of a second speaker in the AC-10 Twin helped to bridge the gap in the Vox line between the single speaker AC-10 and the AC-15. The AC-10 'Super Reverb Twin,' a separate AC-10 head with reverb, tremolo and a matching 2x10 speaker cabinet became available in 1963. Vintage Vox AC30 serial number 5225N circa 1962. This amplifier was purchased from the original owner who had owned it from new, having purchased it himself from Frank Hessy's Music Shop, Stanley Street Liverpool in early 1962. Tan covering, brass vents, leather strap handles, copper coloured control panel.
