The best scene in Dont Look Back was when Dylan sings "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".

Thanks man! It's "Baby Blue" like the VOX Mark VI that Chris Butler played when he was in the Waitresses.

They don't sound like strat style single coils. The have a much beefier sound(except in the out of phase middle position). My friend at JukeBoxOnFire described them like this:
"Sort of like a Fender single coil on acid. They have huge booming output and are almost like you put a Strat pickup and a Supro humbucker-sized single coil into a blender"

I really like that. Even with the gut hook headstock. Are they hard to find? The scale looks short, is it?

Haha,love that scene.
The store where I got my VOX also got in a Spitfire like this
I saw this picture of a VOX Ace posted at The VOX Showroom. It looks different than mine. Is that an earlier model?

That VOX Ace looks similar to this Hofner Holborn

Here is a Dallas guitar that looks almost the same as the early VOX Ace.
