Summer NAMM 2019: Vox promises “the sound and feel of a full sized electric guitar in a compact format” with new mini guitar
SDC-1 features 18.9” short scale length

SUMMER NAMM 2019: Vox has unveiled the SDC-1 mini electric guitar, which aims to deliver “the sound and feel of a full sized electric guitar in a compact format”.
The 479mm (18.9”)-scale model can be played in the same tuning and tension as a standard guitar when strung using .012-.054 strings.
Its high gear ratio tuning heads are specially designed for short-scale guitars, and the guitar itself features a poplar body, maple neck and purpleheart fingerboard.
This one could make an interesting alternative for beginners and guitarists with small hands.
The SDC-1 mini electric guitar is available now for £165 - see Vox Amps for more.
