At the 2011 Winter NAMM Show, Vox Amplification announced the expansion of its guitar lineup with new and affordable Series 22 solid body guitars.

The complete Vox guitar line now includes the Virage semi-hollow models, the Series 77 semi-hollow models, the Series 55 solid bodies, the Series 33 solid bodies, and now, the Series 22 solid bodies. The new SDC22 guitars offer custom pickups, upscale hardware, and choice of four finishes.

The Series 22 mahogany solid-bodies feature Vox signature 3-D contouring, borrowed from the premium Virage series, which provides the new guitars with a comfortable playing fit in either seated or standing positions. In addition, Vox has introduced its SBE strap button extender system, which provides the instrument with even greater balance while playing. What's more, easy access to the upper frets is provided by the deeply cut inverse heel joint. Position dot markers adorn the rosewood fingerboards, which are mounted on mahogany necks.

The Series 22 guitars use the same lightweight MaxConnect aluminum bridge as the Virage, offering extended saddle travel for fine intonation with any-gauge string. Vox Super Smooth tuners provide the Series 22 guitars with enhanced tuning stability.

As for the electronics, the Vox Series 22 guitars have two XLM compact humbucking pickups with two distinct voices. A three-way pickup selector routes the sound through the Master Tone and Master Volume controls for final sound shaping.

There are four finishes available for the Series 22 solid bodies: the SDC22BK in black, SDC22WH in white, SDC22SR in red, and the SDC22SB in a sunburst finish.
