This is the new Vox Virage guitar, a fresh idea by the manufacturer in a long time but worth noting nevertheless. The outline is a little jaded- another singlecut guitar, nothing too different from the Gibson you-know-what.
However, take a look at the body design here, it's actually angled back to give more default resonance upon amplification. The manufacturer also included a pair of triple coil DiMarzio pickups hinting at a more contemporary tones while still retaining those classy, vintage bits.
And the chap responsible for this arguably formidable guitar is non other than Rich Lasner. If you don't already know, he's the guy who laid hands on the very successful Ibanez RG, Yamaha Pacifica/ Weddington/ Attitude & Modulus basses, among others.

My black double cut Virage arrived yesterday. I LOVE IT! The design team did a fantastic job on it. Excellent workmanship, great looking and functioning hardware. The guitar is very light and comfortable. Very nice neck, excellent fret work. The pickups are great. Look very cool and sound soooooo good. The two extra voicing switches add so many sound combinations. GREAT JOB VOX VIRAGE TEAM.... YOU ROCK!
i also believe that lighter guitars are quite commanding in tone. in any case, i prefer the lighter guitars i possess.
