Guitars used by Hilton Valentine on Animal Tracks

Hollowbody Electric Guitars

V223 Vox Mark XII

"VOX gave me this 12 String sometime in late '64 early' 65. I cannot remember the model name, if they assigned one at all. I just knew it as the Tear Drop 12 String. I believe it was a prototype and never mass produced. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones also had a VOX prototype but his was a 6 string. This photo is from the American LP Animal Tracks." - via Hilton's personal site

Details on the guitar and given the time-frame, make it very likely a V223 Vox Mark XII.
