Carrying on a tradition started in the Sixties by Vox in England and Elka in Italy, Phantom Guitarworks of Oregon produced the distinctive pentagonal-shaped instrument seen above. It boasts improved electronics and a wonderfully expressive whammy bar installed by local luthier Ed Clark. This addition produces a fine vibrato, as well as pitch changes, much like the pitch wheel found on many keyboard synths. Plus, coupled with the hornless body and "paddle" headstock, it looks very cool indeed.
