With a small footprint, narrow neck and light body, the Vox Mark V mini is easy to play – a mini guitar with a short scale that still plays like a regular guitar. Mark V mini guitars draw inspiration from the iconic Vox ‘phantom’ shape, which has held a special place in musicians’ hearts since its debut in the 1960s.
Plays like a standard guitar.
Mark V mini guitars feature a 476 mm short-scale neck, but by stringing it with heavier-gauge strings, it can be tuned to standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E).
The nut is the same size as a regular guitar, but the 476mm length is three-quarters the scale. And yet, because of the clever design and the standard tuning, the Mark V mini guitar can be played just like a standard guitar with no need to adapt your chord fingering. In fact, because of the shorter scale neck, your fingers can stretch further and play chords not possible on a standard neck-length guitar!
Smooth tuning
Thanks to custom-designed tuning pegs with an adjusted gear ratio of 18:1 to match the short scale of this instrument, tuning Mark V mini guitars is as effortless as a full-scale guitar.
Classic Vox tone.
Mark V mini guitars boast two high-quality single-coil pickups that give you the distinct sounds of the 1960s, along with a selector for choosing from a wide range of tones.
Brimming with vintage charm.
Our Phantom body shape is possibly even more unique than the Teardrop! The iconic design, known for its vintage and edgy look, has been a favourite for countless artists and guitarists. |
