Just thought I should update this thread. The Phantom is now back together and working as intended. I am still missing some original parts (pickguard being the obvious one) but she's all done and playing.

My only concern is that they are, of course, blank. I'm having a chat with an engraver here about being able to reproduce the original writing. This is turning into a labour of love!

The groups at the top of the page,which determine the price, are based on what material you decide to have the guard made out of.

Anyway, Jim's got that picture of the wiring sat on his laptop, thanks, and is going to have a good look at it.

"Does anyone know what the controls are supposed to do? I get the volume and tone for each side of each pickup, but what on earth is 'reverse' and why is there a three-way switch with 'off' (I understand that), 'stereo' and 'mono'. Is this to do with output? If so, how are you supposed to get a stereo signal from a (factory fitted) mono jack?"
I'm glad it's not just me that the extra toggle has confused.
The pickguard is more than busted up - it's a homemade job to the wrong template. I've been to see Roberto Brandoni here in London this morning to look through his vast stash of Vox parts, but he doesn't have that guard. I'll get a pattern one and get it engraved I guess.

The Phantom Stereo XII had three special offset pickups - the equivalent of six pickups. Three individual pickup mode selectors switches; two separate sets of tone and volume controls for each pickup.
looks like the top 6 and bottom 6 pots are the same setup. the tricky part looks like the 3-3way toggles. but that also looks pretty straight foreword from the pic. the stand alone toggle.....hmmm..
if the pickguard is a tough one to find and its not all busted up. try sanding it down with a flat block and some 2000 grit wet sand paper. then hand buff with some polish compound. might be good enough till you find an original. good luck.

Thanks for the link - kind of hard to describe the setup using their online forms so I've emailed them.

I've never seen a wiring diagram for this guitar but I have heard that the guys at Guitar Diagrams will create custom diagrams based on your specifications. It may not be original spec, but it may move you forward if you can't find an original schematic.
Here's the link:

Current job list is:
1. Ten new pots
2. Complete rewire
3. New pickguard
4. Ten new nobs
5. New backpad
6. Total rebuild
7. Check the line on the neck is OK
8. 12 new gear covers for the tuning heads
9. Put it all back together
Any of you guys have any of the parts or, most importantly, a wiring diagram??
What could possibly go wrong?!
