Model overview
Looking closer, the VOX VGS-50 is a Superstrat-style electric guitar that combines a classic body shape with a wide-ranging tonal palette.
Its clean, streamlined design not only looks modern and elegant but also offers maximum playing comfort. Perfectly balanced, it feels good whether you’re standing with a strap or sitting down to play.
The guitar comes fitted with three pickups in the classic HSS configuration. This setup offers an impressive range of tones — from smooth cleans to powerful overdriven riffs. Add in the five-way selector switch, and you’ll find plenty of room for experimenting and shaping the perfect sound to suit your style. From rock and blues to pop and jazz improvisation, this guitar adapts effortlessly.
The maple neck has a comfortable profile that feels great in the hands of both beginners and seasoned players. The frets are carefully finished for smooth transitions along the fingerboard, with no sharp edges or discomfort. The rosewood fretboard delivers a warm, balanced tone, while the 648 mm scale length ensures ideal string tension, punchy attack, and excellent sustain.
Hardware has been thoughtfully chosen too: the tremolo-style bridge gives you expressive vibrato while maintaining tuning stability, and the machine heads hold their tuning securely, even with more aggressive playing styles.
Who is this model for?
Here’s where the VOX VGS-50 really shines — it’s truly versatile. Beginners will appreciate how easy it is to get started, with a guitar that supports rather than hinders their first steps into music. Self-taught players will value the tonal flexibility and freedom to explore a wide range of genres. Experienced musicians will find it ideal for both rehearsals and live gigs, as it handles everything from crystal-cleans to heavy distortion with ease. Studio players, meanwhile, will love the tonal variety offered by the HSS setup and the intuitive electronics. Even sound engineers and producers will respect the reliable, record-ready tone without the need for overly complex adjustments.
This isn’t just a guitar to hang on the wall and admire — it’s a practical, reliable, and expressive instrument ready to become part of your musical journey, helping you bring even the most ambitious ideas to life.
