Univox Hi-Flyer

The guitar was in 1975, built in Japan for the features you will find on the net

UTILIZATION

The neck is fairly flat, some type of burns marquee for those who know. Therefore, the agreements are easy to press, the handle is very pleasant once properly adjusted.
For my part, I had to redo a bone nut to tailor a luthier, which allowed me to have a near-perfect accuracy, and a magical sound !!!!!
this guitar is not for shredder, so needless to mention the solos that are not necessarily are safe, but at the same time, when we know who used this guitar in the past, Kurt Cobain, Lee renaldo of sonic youth or Eels guitarist singer, you quickly understand the style of his.
The sound is incredible shine with lots of sustain, and the guitar very easily share feedback

SOUNDS

this guitar is carved in rock, grunge trend, or post rock.
I use it on a tiny terror head with a baffle 2 * 12 hp and vox greenback anniversary is extremely crystalline as her.
I use a fuzz war and this is actually the war !!!! ty segall fan, you will enjoy!
Micor handle the position seems to me still very useful, but I also played on a gibson les paul 93 or I use the bridge pickup also requires that claps !!!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week, and I'm in love !!!!
I played on different models of guitar, les paul, telecaster, burns marquee, all have their charm, but this memere 75 is unique, and I would do without hesitation that choice!
a unique sound and a great look, with a light weight, but is very simple to operate

Univox is a Japanese brand, made in Japan produced, the Hi Flyer models were copies of Mosrite of California, guitars were popularized by the group The Ventures, and also the Ramones.

Univox had a real recognition of a certain part of the public long after the death (in 1977 I think) with the popularity of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain who has used a number of these guitars (he even has a clip in the Heart Shaped Box).

The neck has 22 frets, the fingerboard is rosewood and maple neck.
The bridge is reminiscent of that of a Fender Jaguar, with the advantage that when a rope breaks tune the guitar did not (not like on a Start).

The electronic system is similar to a Telecaster (1 3 position selector, 1 volume and 1 tone generally). The pickups were original Univox humbuckers.

The finish is generally acceptable for a cheap instrument of the time.

UTILIZATION

The neck is well finished, smooth and glossy varnish.
Please note a fault on my key (selection of wood)
access is relatively good acute
The guitar that very light is balanced.
The sound is "fat" a big presence in the tone serious and less present in the treble and midrange.
The guitar from Larse easily especially with a Marshall amp (less or not at all on a fender rock pro 1000)

SOUNDS

I play alternative rock guitar suits me perfectly
to see what I see you play at my profile (updated)
the sound is powerful and the tone has no effect on the race for the knob tone.

I also appreciate the power of its clear to my game rhythm.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months I like it a lot. this mark is not imported into Europe it is difficult to get all the brand disappeared. A copy made Nuvell brand it is but Eastwood did not tested I can not say what it's worth.

the scratching of a character by its look that does not go unnoticed and sounds devastating, I changed the pickups in a particular plaant Di Marzio DP100 in the bridge position.

value for money (I paid € 600) for a skyscraper of more than thirty years does not shock me.

this was two years that I was looking for a ... opportunities on ebay were tempting but good try before you buy an instrument is something essential and more than 80 euros on ebay I could try and leave the next day with my instrument, sure of my purchase!
