Guitar
You don't see many of these JMI Vox electrics on this side of the pond because they were student models and were designed more for the British market than for the US.
This seller's guitar is clearly a Vox "Shadow." You can see the model name on the headstock right next to the JMI mark. This was the 3 pickup version of the Clubman or Consort. They were usually red because they were copies of Hank Marvin's Red Fender Stratocaster so the Sunburst is a nice switch. Never as popular or widely distributed as Vox's Italian made electric guitars these guitar bodies were made by a local furniture manufacturer in England and the necks, electronics, hardware and assembly were all handled at the JMI plant in Dartford, Kent England.
These are not generally known as great players but they are highly collectible if you are a serious Vox completeist. Check it out:
