This system features tone control that makes this guitar adaptable to a variety of playing styles and provides around 10 consecutive hours of playing on just a 15-minute charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith incredible sound, style, finish and comfort, the VGA 5TPS is ideal for performing on stage, playing on the go, laying down tracks across a wide range of musical styles or just relaxing at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact Size, Big Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-size archtop guitars look great, but their large size and weight can make them uncomfortable for many players. They are also notoriously susceptible to feedback at stage volume. By carefully balancing the smaller single cutaway body size and full-scale neck, VOX has been able to create a modern instrument that any player can feel comfortable playing without sacrificing tonal versatility and quality. Plugged in, Giulietta can produce tones that are as rich as full sized acoustic guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatented Hybrid Bridge System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Giulietta VGA-3PS features a compact and comfortable body, which makes for a more comfortable and practical playing experience, but also helps reduce feedback and improve the overall tone of the guitar. The real secret of the Giulietta, however, is the innovative patented VOX Hybrid Bridge System. The VOX Hybrid Bridge System uses a traditional wooden base that features a specially-developed laminated wood\/aluminum top section. The compensated one-piece saddle is equipped with a proprietary piezo system that provides quick response and even string-to-string output. Additionally, this unique combination of materials widens the frequency response of the piezo system, adding sparkling high harmonics and also significantly increasing sustain. As an added bonus, this bridge also helps reduce feedback at high volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuper Capacitor Preamp System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, archtop guitars are available either as fully acoustic instruments or with magnetic pickups cut into the top, with all controls mounted in the wood. A different approach was used to give the VGA-3PS greater projection and sustain. With the pickup system contained in the Hybrid Bridge and the controls suspended in the pickguard, the top wood is allowed to resonate freely without the weight of the electronic components inhibiting its true vibration.The Giuletta’s excellent on-board piezo pickup system transforms the typical dull tone of an archtop by providing greater dynamic sensitivity, a more even distribution of lows, mids \u0026amp; highs, and enhanced sustain that rivals your favorite flattop acoustic. The Volume and Tone controls are discreetly located on the pickguard, just like a classic archtop, keeping the look crisp and uncluttered while delivering a wide range of tones to suit any style. There is also a low-cut pot that is adjustable with a small flat blade screwdriver to custom tailor the bass response of your guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLong-life rechargeable battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB chargeable preamp boasts a hefty 8 hours of play time just with 1-2 hours of charging. This design choice is not only for convenience, but it also eliminates the need for a battery compartment; another factor which increases the resonance and vibrations of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\nGuitar Specifications\n\u003ch3\u003eBODY:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Cutaway Archtop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArched laminated spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArched laminated mahogany back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminated mahogany sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle ply top binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle ply back binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e342mm (13 1\/2″) body width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNECK:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet Nyatoh, tilt headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional \"C\" shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43mm (1.690″) nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFINGERBOARD:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted Jatoba (stabilized through special drying process)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e320mm (12.6″) fingerboard radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearloid dot position markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 medium jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBRIDGE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented Hybrid Bridge on floating ebony base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated piezo saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTAILPIECE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated trapeze style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSCALE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24.75″ (628mm) scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePICKUP:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiezo bridge saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONTROLS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Volume- pickguard mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Tone- pickguard mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive\/Passive Switch to turn off preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Cut trim pot, adjusted with a small flat blade screwdriver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eELECTRONICS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVox Super Capacitor Preamp System with pickguard-mounted volume and tone controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eONBOARD SYSTEM:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Capacitor with USB quick charging feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHARDWARE FINISH:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONNECTIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuitar output jack (1\/4″ phone type)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini USB for charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePOWER:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB rechargeable Super Capacitor system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Under continuous use) 8 hours Battery life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACCESSORIES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString mute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini-USB charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40580931944583,"sku":"VOX-VGA-5TPSNA","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/4689\/6519\/files\/VOX-VGA-5TPS-Giulietta-Archtop-Acoustic-Guitar-Natural-w-Pickup-_-Gigbag-FRONT.jpg?v=1695262885","url":"https:\/\/www.belfieldmusic.com.au\/products\/vox-vga-5tps-giulietta-archtop-acoustic-guitar-natural-w-pickup-gigbag","provider":"Belfield Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
