If you guys just want the electronics why not just get the Eko pedal which has all those effects including wah. It's kind of the same thing.
I am sure the necks are fine on those guitars, Eko necks are quality- they are reinforced, unlike Fender necks, but I would be kind of worried about the neck-body joints on those. The Eko hollow bodies are not really heavy-duty. They look really cool though. (all the paddle-head hollow bodies were made by Eko)

Wow - I never knew that EKO Multitone existed. Thanks for the info.rickenmetal wrote: If you guys just want the electronics why not just get the Eko pedal which has all those effects including wah. It's kind of the same thing.
Pete Kember (Sonic Boom/Spectrum/Spacemen 3 etc.) was trying to make a "Starstream" pedal to replicate his Vox effects a couple of years ago but I don't think anything ever came of it. As far as I can see that pedal has exactly the same electronics as the guitars.
It's all very well saying just get one, though...it looks to me like they're a lot harder to find than the guitars.

Linky??
EDIT - No worries. I googled it & got to the MelMusic site in the end.
Cool looking pedal but I've a feeling these things will be going for a lot on the bay. Old 60's Vox pedals do.
Thinking back to when I was searching out a Vox guitar there was a Vox Grandprix that I missed by a whisker (someone hit BIN). I was looking for a thinline Vox so was a little put off by the Grandprix's deep body (it was shaped like the ES-175 guitar) but along with the guitar & original case you got a completely spare set of components for the effects circuit!!!
This was the one.....

I still wince a bit thinking about missing this one. I reckon someone got it for a really good price, mainly down to the spares.

Every pedal needs a Strepitoso knob!
