Vox Virage Series 33 Double Cutaway: First look

We’ve just received a Vox Virage 33 Series Double Cutaway in the office, and here’s how it looks.

The guitar

Vox might be best known for its much loved AC30 amp, but it’s also pretty handy when it comes to making six strings. Having a proud heritage of odd shaped guitars like the Apache, ‘Teardrop’, and Phantom, its latest designs are more affordable additions to the Virage series.

Finish

Our review model came in the Teaburst finish. That’s a neatly carved slab of solid ash (also available in Trans Red). The Black and Goldtop versions are solid Mahogany.

CoAxe pickups

Those clever buggers at Vox have designed the CoAxe pickups to give you both humbucker and singlecoil sounds. They’re passive, and are controlled by a two-position toggle switch.

MaxConnect bridge

Vox’s aluminium MaxConnect bridge is the same model that comes on Vox’s most expensive (£2,000) Virage models. It’s ultra-lightweight, and promises to increase sustain with rock solid intonation.

Super Smooth Tuners

Matching the MaxConnect’s sleek aesthetics are the Super Smooth tuners. Vox reckons these will give “enhanced tuning stability”.

Stuart has been working for guitar publications since 2008, beginning his career as Reviews Editor for Total Guitar before becoming Editor for six years. During this time, he and the team brought the magazine into the modern age with digital editions, a Youtube channel and the Apple chart-bothering Total Guitar Podcast. Stuart has also served as a freelance writer for Guitar World, Guitarist and MusicRadar reviewing hundreds of products spanning everything from acoustic guitars to valve amps, modelers and plugins. When not spouting his opinions on the best new gear, Stuart has been reminded on many occasions that the 'never meet your heroes' rule is entirely wrong, clocking-up interviews with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Green Day and many, many more.
