I can't say much for the copies, but the VOX
Phantom 12 string that I had in the late 60's-
early 70's was alright...tight, crisp sound when
using the pickup by the bridge, warm when
using the pickup at the neck...didn't like
both pickups on at the same time tho.
Sounded a bit muddy to me.
It had a muting bar at the bridge you could
actuate and make it sound kinda like a banjo,
like in "Mrs. Brown, You've got a lovely daughter",
by Hermans Hermits.
It also had a whammy bar, which on a 12 string is
a big mistake. Just couldn't keep it in tune if ya
used it much.
It was white on white and looked smashing!
Sold it to get a Mosrite.
Miss it, tho...
Thanks for letting me reminisce...
