The Vox V206 Super Ace Guitar








The Vox Super Ace guitar was offered in the 1965 "King of the Beat" catalog seen above. A color reprint of this catalog is available at North Coast Music. The styling and features of the Vox Super Ace were obviously inspired by the Fender Stratocaster.

The Super Ace is one of a series of student grade models produced by Vox in the UK by Stuart Darkins and Co., a furniture maker in Shoeburyness.

The "King of the Beat" catalog described the Super Ace guitar as follows:

"Specially selected light-weight hardwood body attractively countoured for snug fitting to the guitarist. This model has three six-pole (single coil ) pickups, volume control and separate flick action tone change. Compensated bridge unit incorporated in smooth-action tremolo unit. Polished, reinforced neck with with rosewood finger board. Adjustable truss rod. Choice of red, white, or sunburst polyester finish."

The 1965 JMI (UK) Vox price list indicated that the Super Ace guitar had a British retail price of about 47 pounds.
