The VOX Giulietta VGA-5TD Archtop Electric Guitar is a cutting-edge musical instrument designed for modern guitarists, fusing state-of-the-art digital sound modeling with a classic aesthetic.
The VGA-5TD offers an even more compact and thinner body along with high-class ornamentation compared to its predecessor, the VGA-3D. VOX’s advanced modeling technology brings you the diversity and advanced performance functionality needed for recording and live performance. Owing to our refined electronic technology, the VOX Giulietta VGA-5TD Archtop Electric Guitar gives you access to a world of sounds that go beyond your expectations. The AREOS-D digital modeling system built into the Giulietta VGA-5TD gives you access to a wide range of parameters. It features both magnetic and piezo pickups, a powerful DSP engine, two potentiometer dials and a selector switch for access to the 18 modeled sounds. These features combine to deliver you an impressive level of sound quality.
The modeling system gives you instant control over sounds in a broad array of genres beyond electric and acoustic guitars, such as synthesizer sounds. This instrument is sure to become a powerful new tool for creative musicians to wield in live performances and recording situations.
The Tune-O-Matic-style bridge that’s built into the piezo pickups adds brightness, offering clean yet rich harmonics to the acoustic sound. Further, the VOX XLM humbucking pickup outputs an authentic electric guitar sound that’s responsive to your playing dynamics. This mighty combination brings a diverse range of sounds within easy reach.
The product designers and engineers at VOX also worked hard to deal with over-ringing, an issue that frequently occurs on archtop guitars with piezo pickups, and which occurs when the piezo pickup on the bridge picks up not only the desired sound but also the resonance of the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece (on the opposite side). To prevent over-ringing and to achieve a pure and clean sound on the VOX Giulietta VGA-5TD, we have developed a removable string mute (included with the guitar).
