Wasn't the Phantom the one that was shaped sort of like a coffin?
Didn't Brian Jones or Keef play one back in the days?  Voxes are
pretty neat guitars.  Made in Italy weren't they?

Thought I knew my guitars, but I've never even heard of that one.
Maybe it's fictional, a la Bloom's Stun Guitar?

Johnny Winter album, and thought that Johnny played a guitar made out
of steel, because JW was credited as playing 'steel guitar!'  I swear
I'm not making this up!
