Vox SSC-33 Electric Guitar - Gold

VOX SSC-33 Electric Guitar – Gold

The VOX SSC-33 in Gold is a distinctive single-cutaway solid-body electric guitar that combines classic visual styling with ergonomic three-dimensional body shaping and versatile VOX electronics. Its contoured mahogany body, set mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and innovative CoAxe pickups provide a comfortable and responsive instrument for practice, recording, rehearsals, and live performance.

The guitar’s sculpted construction is designed to sit naturally against the player while seated or standing. A deeply contoured inverse heel improves access to the upper frets, while the intermediate 638 mm scale length provides balanced string tension for chords, rhythm playing, bends, vibrato, and lead techniques.

Technical Specifications

Ergonomic Three-Dimensional Construction

The SSC-33 uses VOX’s signature three-dimensional body shaping to provide a comfortable fit against the player. Its sculpted front and back surfaces help the guitar maintain a balanced playing position whether it is used seated or with a strap.

Versatile CoAxe Pickup System

The two VOX CoAxe pickups are designed with multiple internal pickup elements, providing different tonal characteristics while maintaining low-noise performance. The Master Mode selector changes the response of both pickups together, expanding the available tones without introducing a complicated control layout.

Comfortable Upper-Fret Access

The set mahogany neck joins the body through a deeply sculpted inverse heel. This removes unnecessary material around the neck joint and allows the fretting hand to reach the upper register more naturally.

MaxConnect Bridge Design

The lightweight aluminium MaxConnect bridge uses a broad contact surface to transfer string vibration efficiently into the body. Its extended saddle travel supports accurate intonation with different string gauges, while the rear-loading design makes string installation straightforward.

Stable and Responsive Performance

VOX Super Smooth sealed tuning machines provide precise tuning adjustment and dependable stability. Combined with the fixed MaxConnect bridge, set-neck construction, and solid mahogany body, they contribute to a consistent playing response during practice, recording, rehearsals, and performance.

Classic Styling with Modern VOX Engineering

The VOX SSC-33 in Gold combines a striking GoldTop appearance with ergonomic construction, versatile pickup switching, comfortable upper-fret access, and distinctive VOX hardware. Its broad tonal range makes it suitable for clean playing, blues, jazz, pop, rock, alternative music, studio recording, and live performance.
