IN 1991 VOX (UNDER ROSE MORRIS OWNERSHIP) INTRODUCED A MAHOGANY SPECIAL VERSION OF THEIR CURRENT "VINTAGE" MODEL .THIS ONE HAS A "VINTAGE" CHASSIS AS PER PRODUCTION BUT IS MADE FROM SOLID ASH.I HAVE TRIED TO FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE ON THE NET TO NO AVAIL AND CAN ONLY THEREFORE ASSUME THAT THIS ONE IS "UNIQUE".I THINK MAYBE WHEN VOX DECIDED TO MAKE THEM IN MAHOGANY THEY ALSO MADE A "PROTOTYPE" IN ASH AND THEN DECIDED ON THE DARKER WOOD. I MUST STRESS THIS AMP CABINET IS NOT HOME MADE BUT MUST HAVE BEEN MADE BY VOX (THE MACHINING OF THE WOOD AND JIGGING OF ALL THE HOLE/CUTOUTS ETC IS DEFINITELY A FACTORY MODEL)ROSE MORRIS ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE AMP'S HISTORY FOR ME. IF ANYONE KNOWS DIFFERENT THEN I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE INFO SO I CAN UPDATE THIS AD.THE AMP IS FITTED WITH BLUE ALNICO'S WHICH WERE SPECIAL ORDER AT THE TIME AND LEATHER HANDLES WITH BRASS FITTINGSTHE VINTAGE CHASSIS IS AN ALL VALVE VERSION WITH 12 VALVES FITTED (THIS IS THE REVERB VERSION WITH 2 EXTRA VALVES).HAS THE EGG TYPE FOOTSWITCH AND SEPARATE MAINS CABLE.AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THIS AMP IS GORGEOUS TO LOOK AT AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY GREAT.ALL POTS OK REVERB AND TREMELO WORK FINE.ALL DETAILS ABOUT THE VINTAGE CHASSIS AND HISTORY ARE FROM NORTH COAST MUSIC (FOR EVERYTHING VOX)BEING IN SOLID WOOD IT IS I THINK A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN A STANDARD VOX OF THE ERADONT REALLY WANT TO SHIP BUT WILL COURIER IF REQUIRED (BUYERS EXPENSE)RELISTED DUE TO TIME WASTER
