Product Information

Introducing the VGA-5TPS; an archtop electric-acoustic guitar with the tones of a flat top acoustic, and exhibiting lavish new finishes to leave a lasting impression.

Building upon the compact archtop body of the VGA-3PS, the new VGA-5TPS model features an even slimmer body that’s more comfortable and comes in extravagant new colors and enhanced cosmetics.

Along with stunning new looks, the VGA-5TPS keeps the Super Capacitor Preamp System that provides rich and bright electric acoustic guitar sound. This system features tone control that makes this guitar adaptable to a variety of playing styles and provides around 10 consecutive hours of playing on just a 15-minute charge.

With incredible sound, style, finish and comfort, the VGA 5TPS is ideal for performing on stage, playing on the go, laying down tracks across a wide range of musical styles or just relaxing at home.

Features

Compact Size, Big Tone

Full-size archtop guitars look great, but their large size and weight can make them uncomfortable for many players. They are also notoriously susceptible to feedback at stage volume. By carefully balancing the smaller single cutaway body size and full-scale neck, VOX has been able to create a modern instrument that any player can feel comfortable playing without sacrificing tonal versatility and quality. Plugged in, Giulietta can produce tones that are as rich as full sized acoustic guitars.

Patented Hybrid Bridge System

The Giulietta VGA-3PS features a compact and comfortable body, which makes for a more comfortable and practical playing experience, but also helps reduce feedback and improve the overall tone of the guitar. The real secret of the Giulietta, however, is the innovative patented VOX Hybrid Bridge System. The VOX Hybrid Bridge System uses a traditional wooden base that features a specially-developed laminated wood/aluminum top section. The compensated one-piece saddle is equipped with a proprietary piezo system that provides quick response and even string-to-string output. Additionally, this unique combination of materials widens the frequency response of the piezo system, adding sparkling high harmonics and also significantly increasing sustain. As an added bonus, this bridge also helps reduce feedback at high volumes.

Super Capacitor Preamp System

Traditionally, archtop guitars are available either as fully acoustic instruments or with magnetic pickups cut into the top, with all controls mounted in the wood. A different approach was used to give the VGA-3PS greater projection and sustain. With the pickup system contained in the Hybrid Bridge and the controls suspended in the pickguard, the top wood is allowed to resonate freely without the weight of the electronic components inhibiting its true vibration.The Giuletta’s excellent on-board piezo pickup system transforms the typical dull tone of an archtop by providing greater dynamic sensitivity, a more even distribution of lows, mids & highs, and enhanced sustain that rivals your favorite flattop acoustic. The Volume and Tone controls are discreetly located on the pickguard, just like a classic archtop, keeping the look crisp and uncluttered while delivering a wide range of tones to suit any style. There is also a low-cut pot that is adjustable with a small flat blade screwdriver to custom tailor the bass response of your guitar.

Long-life rechargeable battery

The USB chargeable preamp boasts a hefty 8 hours of play time just with 1-2 hours of charging. This design choice is not only for convenience, but it also eliminates the need for a battery compartment; another factor which increases the resonance and vibrations of the wood.
