VOX
The Vox HDC-77 in translucent Blackburst represents the pinnacle of VOX guitar design, blending boutique aesthetics with advanced sonic engineering. Built with a carved maple top, mahogany back, and a solid maple center block, the HDC-77 combines the resonant warmth of a semi-hollow instrument with the feedback resistance and sustain of a solid-body guitar.
Experience a breathtaking blend of traditional semi-hollow resonance and modern innovation with the VOX HDC-77 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in a stunning Blackburst finish. Celebrated by world-class artists for its legendary tonal versatility and ergonomic design, the HDC-77 redefines the classic double-cutaway experience. Whether you are laying down warm jazz chords, gritty blues-rock riffs, or soaring psychedelic leads, this instrument delivers professional-grade performance and an unmatched sonic palette.
Innovative Semi-Hollow Construction & 3-D Contouring
Unlike standard flat-topped semi-hollows, the HDC-77 features VOX’s advanced 3-D body contouring. Crafted from a specially routed solid mahogany center block with acoustic chambers and a flamed maple-laminated arched top and back, the body is sculpted to naturally wrap around your torso. This lightweight, ergonomic build drastically reduces player fatigue during long stage sets while offering exceptional acoustic resonance, sustain, and touch sensitivity.
Revolutionary CoAxe Pickups with Triple-Voice Versatility
At the heart of the HDC-77's incredible sonic range are VOX’s patented CoAxe pickups. Each pickup houses dual independent coils that can be instantly toggled via a dedicated 3-way switch, effectively granting every pickup three distinct voices:
- Humbucker Mode: Delivers thick, warm, harmonically rich low-end power.
- P-90 Soapbar Mode: Yields a punchy, mid-forward snarl with plenty of organic bark.
- Single-Coil Mode: Provides crystal-clear, shimmering highs and bell-like articulation.
