The V254 Vox Wildcat was offered in the 1966 "Vox, It's Whats Happening - Beatles cover" catalog. A reprint of this catalog is available at North Coast Music. This semi acoustic, single pickup "jazz box" guitar featured a single cutaway.
The 1966 US Vox catalog described the Wildcat guitar as follows:
"6-string electro-acoustic guitar; arched top and back; hand bound body, neck, and F-holes; himged tailpiece; scuff- proof polyester finish. Bridge adjustable for custom action."
The 1966 US Vox price list indicated that the retail price of the Wildcat was $149.90 USD. Adjusted for inflation to today's dollars, the Wildcat would retail for about $1025.
The Wildcat was produced for Vox in Italy by Eko.
My thanks to Roger Tessier who allowed me to take photos of his Vox Wildcat guitar.
