Actually, these guitars are not manufactured by Yamaha. They were designed by a veteran team working for Vox that consists of Rich Lasner (Ibanez Jem, Yamaha Pacifica, amongst others), Eric Kirkland (ex-Gibson and Variax), Bob McDonald (Modulus Graphite). Apparently, they approached the parent company, Korg, with the idea of producing a Vox range. Apart from a small run of USA made guitars, they will be Japanese made by Fuji Gen Gakki (who produced models for Ibanez, Fender Japan). The guitars sound and look awesome, playability/feel is amazing as well.

I checked out the Yamaha TVL as suggested. Nope, not even close. The Vox Virage is way beyond the TVL, the pups are triple coil,aluminum bridge, completely different body design and internal chambering, different body woods, electronic are in a class of their own. Are you sure they are made by Yamaha? The website says it’s made in the Fuji Genku (or something like that) factory in Japan. I know about this particular factory. It’s one of the best and most famous in Japan. I decided to id on the one that was being auctioned off on eBay by Music For All Foundation as a promotion, and I won. I’ll be getting mine for $1500. I’m happ with the price and the hands on reviews I’ve read so far are all raving about the sound and playability. Oh boy, Oh boy!

Vox is distributed internationally by Yamaha. Just one look at these and you can clearly tell Yamaha is doing the manufacturing - almost looks identical to the TVL. Save yourself some dollars and buy a Yamaha instead.

I meant that it has a BUILT in mode switch circuit. Sorry - funky keyboard. And the price range I’m hoping for is $2100 to $2500. We’ll see.

I just checked out the Vox Virage site, read the specs, listened to the samples…. WOW!!! This is my next guitar. It was going to be a New Taylor Electric solid body. But now the tables have turned… The Vox is awesome. It pretty much can do it all, from crunch - metal to Jazz etc. uilt in mode switches for lead - rhythm, etc. Just fantastic. I love it and want it. Hope it’s not a $4,000 MSRP. $3,000 will put it in the $2100 - $2000 range most likely. I think I’ll get the black double cut.
