While the Phantom I guitar was equipped with a three position rotary pickup selector, the Phantom II featured three on/off slide switches, one for each pickup. single coil pickups with 'bar type' magnets and chrome covers. Like most of the other models in the 1962 Vox range, the Phantom I and Phantom II guitars were equipped with Vox V.1. Like the Stratocaster, the Phantom I and II had three single coil pickups, a three position pickup selector, a vibrato arm, a bolt on neck and a contoured back. It is reasonable to assume that the popularity of the Fender Stratocaster in the UK would encourage Vox to incorporate 'Strat' like features into the design of the Phantom. These instruments featured a satin black polyester finish and were assembled at JMI in the UK using bodies, necks and hardware purchased from various outside suppliers.

Others claim that the design for this proposed 'top of the line' Vox guitar was drafted in-house at JMI. In his 1991 book, 'The Vox Story,' JMI lead engineer Dick Denney reported that JMI entered into a contract with the London Design Centre in 1962 to suggest a unique body profile that would be developed into a new pro-quality guitar model. It was decided that this new deluxe guitar model should feature a body shape that would be unique, iconic and immediately recognizable as a Vox instrument.

These early Vox models had inexpensive ferrite 'bar magnet' pickups and necks that lacked an adjustable neck truss rod. The body shapes of these early Vox guitars resembled those from Fender in America. Click here to see a JMI magazine ad from 1961 featuring some of these early Vox guitar models.
