Reviving the legendary Italian craftsmanship of the mid–1960s, the Vox Bobcat S66 brings back the distinctive semi–hollow design that made the original Bobcat and Lynx guitars so sought after. This modern interpretation maintains the historic aesthetic that defined these unique instruments, while incorporating contemporary improvements to playability, feedback control, and pickup performance that today's musicians demand.
The S66 stays faithful to its Italian heritage with authentic design elements including the original pickup configuration, matching plastic hues on the pickguard, and aluminium knobs that mirror the vintage specifications. The headstock features the classic vertical logo orientation, capturing that unmistakable retro appeal of the 1960s originals. Three single–coil pickups provide the rich tonal variation and distinctive appearance that set these guitars apart from conventional semi–hollow instruments.
Modern enhancements focus on practical performance improvements without compromising the vintage character. The set neck construction allows comfortable access to higher frets, while the fixed Tune–o–matic bridge provides optimal neck angle for superior playability compared to the original design. A weight–relieved centre block within the semi–hollow body increases sustain and prevents feedback issues even at high volumes, making it suitable for contemporary playing styles.
The pickup system combines vintage voicing with modern refinements, modelled after the original Italian–made units but with improved tonal characteristics. Lightweight open–gear tuning heads effectively transmit string vibration while maintaining the classic aesthetic, completing a guitar that honours its heritage while meeting the demands of today's players.
