I've got the itch for a Phantom or Teardrop. To the point I'm actually considering selling my Ric 330. :idk:

I dont think I'd ever get an actual Vox. I've been checking out Phantom Guitar Works. They seem to make a pretty good replica at a pretty good price. Anyone have any comments? How these guitars sound or play?

Hey, never heard of that guys, but they look really cool! And they have some tasty basses too!:-)

I'm in your boat. I've wanted a Phantom forever, probably never afford the real deal. Hopefully someone knows bout these beauties.

Luv that Phantom shape. Missed out on a blue Teisco EV3-T last year. If you like Teisco's, you can find those for $200-$400 used too.

highly recommended... i have a phantom teardrop hollowbody 12 string. i put the his 12 string bigsby on after i got it. it is wayyyyyy awesome, but tuning can be a bit.... challenging, what with a 12 string bigsby and all :facepalm:

i specifically got the guitar to record this song as it was way cheaper than a ric 12. you can see it in this video:

M guitarist has a 60's red hollowbody 12 sting Vox Teardrop, it got modded for buckers at some point... it rocks HARD.

Teisco May Queen?

Eastwood made a decent looking phantom for a while...

Not a fan of the shape. At all.

But I'm glad you fellas enjoy them.

They're ok. I wouldn't ever hunt one down. How do they feel anyway? They look so awkward...

They seem like they'd be really uncomfortable. I'd expect lots of neck-dive.
Have you played one?
