In 1961, the first Vox guitars went on sale at 100 Charing Cross Road in the shop of Tom Jennings, who was the founder of Jennings Musical Industries Ltd. of Dartford, makers of Vox branded equipment. The company, who were primarily known for their 'AC' series guitar amplifiers, had recently expanded into the guitar market with their 'Stroller' and 'Clubman' models. These were low budget guitars, made for Vox by a furniture maker and with a design based on the expensive U.S. imported Fender models of the time. This 'Stroller' model is light to hold, has two single-coil pickups and is notable for its very slim solid body.
