The VOX Virage II DC (Vintage Sunburst) double-cutaway guitar presents the latest chapter in the legacy of VOX guitars. The twin Tone bars are an integral part of the VOX Virage II's body sculpting, providing a solid mounting platform for the bridge, while eliminating the traditional “block” under the bridge and pick-ups. This design also allows the top to vibrate freely for optimum clarity, offering the sweet, singing sustain of a semi-hollow design, as well as the focused attack and articulation of a solid body guitar. The reverse taper of the top naturally inhibits feedback and other artifacts. Whether you play sitting or standing, Virage II’s ergonomic 3-D contour provides unparalleled balance and comfort. Comfort creates confidence. Confidence fuels inspiration.
The refined VOX Virage II instruments add exciting new features to what makes Virage guitars great. The exclusive new VOX CoAxetm pickups, developed at the VOX G-Rok R&D shop in California, bring new levels of versatility and tonality to the Virage II models. Featured on both the Virage II SC and DC models, CoAxe pickups use new construction methods to passively create three distinct voices per pickup; each one a sparkling representation of classic Clean/Crunch/Lead sounds. Beyond providing the available sounds their own unique, rich character, an innovative hum-cancelling scenario virtually liminates hum and noise without reducing sparkling highs or disturbing the pickup’s rich midrange and bass balance; truly a major sonic step forward.
The VOX Virage II calls on the advanced MaxConnect aluminum bridge to provide extended saddle travel and to deliver flawless intonation with any gauge string. The full contact shape and light weight combine to deliver thick rich tone with clear, singing harmonics. Each bridge stud is anchored in a separate solid wood block (Tone bar), allowing the high strings and bass strings to resonate fully without robbing each other of clarity or sustain. Strings slide in from under the back edge of the bridge to make changing strings a snap. Numerous cosmetic extras enhance the Virage II, including the exquisite fingerboard inlay, setting the guitars apart from the original Virage models. You’ll notice the exquisite attention to detail in the guitar’s finish, nut, and fret dressing that puts them in a league with the finest instruments available.
