Description Brand: Univox Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan Model: Custom Body Type: Hollow String Configuration: 6 String Body Color: Sunburst Dexterity: Right-Handed
Very nice Univox 3 pickup hollow body Guitar. Made in Japan. An uncommon model that is a must for Univox collectors. This uses the same pickups that are used in an Epiphone ET-270 (one of Cobain's favorite guitars). This was definitely one of my "keepers" but have to thin the herd. Approximately 24.75" from nut to bridge. Approximately 15-3/4" wide at lower bout. Right hand. All 3 pickups work great and sound really great. Electronics have been tested and work. Pots, jack and switches are a bit scratchy and would benefit from cleaning. Volume starts humming when turned down (probably a bad ground). No hum at full volume. White pickup covers are chipped and missing a few pieces. Some scuffs, scratches and a few tiny dings on body. Some finish wear throughout. Some finish checking here and there. Some chipping and nicking around edges of headstock. Large finish chip that is a bit into the wood at ball end of headstock. Numerous guitar stand/play marks on back of neck. Neck is set up with a small amount of relief. Light to medium fret wear. Has low wide frets similar to Gibson's Fretless Wonder. Plenty of meat on frets. Missing vibrato arm. This is a Rare Univox model that truly has an eye catching vintage look. It also sounds like nothing else you have played. Guitar weighs a light 6 pounds, 10.6 ounces. Includes hard foam case shown in 1st photo. Case is used but in very good condition. Photos are part of the description so please view them carefully. Please ask any questions that you need to. Shipping is for lower 48. Contact me for availability and shipping rates before you bid, offer or buy if you live elsewhere.
