The 1968 US Vox catalog offered forty-six individual models of guitars and basses. It is unlikely that any other manufacturer offered a larger variety of stringed instruments in the late 1960's than Vox. The entire 1968 Vox guitar lineup was produced for Thomas Organ by Eko of Recanati, Italy.
Thomas Organ revamped and simplified the US Vox guitar line in 1969. Only two of the prior forty-six Italian made Vox guitars were included in the 1969 "The New Sound for the New Scene" Vox product catalog; the Country Western and the Folk XII. Thomas Organ liquidated the remaining forty-four models of Italian made Vox guitars in the 1969 and 1970 Vox dealer price lists.
Thomas Organ replaced the departing Eko/Vox instruments with a new in-house guitar brand they named "Voxton." Produced for Thomas Organ in Japan, the Voxton line was comprised of twelve models: eight acoustic guitars, three electric guitars and one bass.

| The Voxton X-200 was a nylon string classical guitar. It's single bound body was 14¼" wide at the lower bout and 3¾" deep. It featured a laminated spruce top with a natural finish, internal fan bracing and a fixed rosewood bridge. The back and sides were laminated mahogany. It also had a maple set neck with a 25½" scale and a 19 fret rosewood topped finger board. The neck joined the body at the 12th fret. The neck also included four edge mounted pearloid marker dots, a pair of three-in-line strip tuners and a modified French heel.
The 1969 retail price for the Voxton X-200 guitar was $49.50 plus case. Adjusted for fifty years of inflation, the X-200 guitar would retail for about $400 today.
