Jimmy writes: The Vox Phantom XII-string is a lovely guitar. I got it when I was a studio musician
and then it went through to The Yardbirds. I played “Glimpses” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor”
on it and it was used to do a Bob Dylan song “Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way And I’ll Go Mine”.
On “Tinker Tailor” and “Glimpses”, I’m bowing it at the same time, so I was really putting it
through it’s paces, abusing it, really? It’s one of the electric twelve strings I used in the building
of the recording of “Stairway To Heaven”-the other was the Fender Electric XII. It’s also on
“Thank You”, so it’s had quite an interesting life.

VOX APACHE-2 Phantom
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125716911885

The Vox company in 1964, as the most innovative of electric instrument manufacturers in that era, was in a race with Watkins and Burns London
to turn out the first guitar-organ hybrid. While Burns completed the earliest prototype (which John Lennon tried), Vox was the first to market
with the V251. It incorporated the standard five-sided Phantom body shape with part of a Vox Continental organ built into the body. Connected
to a remote power-supply unit (not included in the present lot) via DIN plugs and a 4-conductor cable, the instrument had individual outputs for
guitar and organ. The present example, as a prototype, does not have the full compliment of buttons and controls found in the production model.
Dick Denny, the company’s inventor, presented the first prototype to the Beatles (Denny claims this was at the Hammersmith Odeon during their
Christmas show, while George Harrison believed it was at Abbey Road studio). Denny recounts (as quoted in Babiuk): “I took the first one up to
John Lennon and Paul McCartney, to the Hammersmith Odeon in London during their Christmas show. When they first saw it they were in awe,
but they couldn’t suss it out. It was too much trouble to run. But I think they liked it, because John kept it.” He apparently gave it to their
roadie Mal Evans, whose wife wrote to Harrison after Mal's death (1976) inquiring about various guitars she had. A copy of Harrison’s typed letter
signed response dated 26 October 1982 is included with the lot, as well as a copy of Lily Evans’ typed letter signed 21 June 2006 testifying to
its authenticity. Also included is an official souvenir programme 35 Hours of Beatlemania, 1983 Mersey Beatle Extravaganza, signed on the back
“Charles Lennon, John Lennon’s uncle.”
