The Rolling Stones Family: Brian Jones' Lonely Hearts Club

September 1965
Prototypes for a novel short scale electric 12-string - The VOX Mando Guitar - are worked up by Mick Bennett and his team at the Dartford Road factory. Early examples are presented to George Harrison and Brian Jones. Production begins in earnest during 1966 at both the Italian and British factories, and the Mando guitar is quickly recognized as a great studio tool.

Brand name: VOX
Series name: VOX ACE-MANDOGUITAR SERIES
Dates of manufacture: 1964 - 1966
VOX produced the MANDOGUITAR between 1964 and 1966. It was essentially a half scale 12 string electric guitar. By using regular guitar tuning it enabled guitarists to get a passable mandolin sound without learning mandolin fingering.

It had two single coil pickups, pickup selector, volume and tone controls (all mounted on the scratch plate)

Давайте послушаем, как звучит этот редкий музыкальный инструмент :


Посмотрим на него поближе :
