Musicvox is an American guitar and bass company founded in 1997 by Matt Eichen and based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The brand is known for retro-futuristic instrument designs that draw on 1960s European and space-age aesthetics, selling direct-to-customer in limited, numbered production runs. Its flagship model, the Spaceranger, debuted at the January 1997 NAMM show and was inspired by a vintage Supro Ozark Eichen encountered while traveling.

The Musicvox lineup centers on a handful of distinctive body shapes — the Spaceranger, Spacinator, Space Cadet, and the offset MI-5 and MI-6 — offered as electric guitars and as basses in 4-, 5-, 6-, 8-, and 12-string configurations. The company is particularly associated with its 12-string bass engineering; a custom mirror-finish Spaceranger 12-string bass was built for Cheap Trick's Tom Petersson in 1998. Musicvox instruments have also appeared on screen, including in the Austin Powers film Goldmember and on Nickelodeon's Sam & Cat.

Beyond the core guitar and bass lines, Musicvox has produced amps and USB-equipped bass models. The brand's visual identity — bold colors, exaggerated horns, mirrored pickguards, and the tagline "We Come In Peace For All Mankind" — has given it a niche following among players looking for an alternative to mainstream vintage-style instruments.
