of the neck are brass – no expense spared with this guitar, which was
clearly intended as what was called in those days a ‘Les Paul killer’. To be
honest, I’ve played a few Gibson Les Pauls and nearly all of them are no
better (and sometimes not so good).

I was glad to see recently that Vox themselves have finally got around to
acknowledging their early 80s guitars and there is now a page on them on
their website. In their official history book, the otherwise excellent The Vox
Story, their lack of knowledge about their company history was such that
they said the Custom 25 was the higher end guitar (it isn’t, it is the 24).
If you see a Vox Custom 24 for sale and you have the cash, don’t hesitate –
buy it (before I do). It’s a great example of the best of Japanese luthiery in
the 80s.
