Univox 1975 Hi-Flyer Vintage Phase 3 Japan Lawsuit Offset 70s Flier III 83460
Description
This is a vintage 1975 Univox Hi-Flyer Phase III in sunburst finish. The Phase III is the model made famous by Kurt Cobain (those people saying Phase I or II are "Cobain guitars" are wrong). Very nice at 46 years old though it does have its share of wear marks (see pics). Overall still looks great. Frets are in good condition.
Really a nice playing guitar. Some details: These have poplar body, maple neck and rosewood fretboard. Neck is a D shape with 9 inch radius. Electronics and pickups work but these are not the original pickups. Some owner along the way replaced the humbuckers. Tuners work fine.
This guitar is a classic vintage time capsule and will fit well in someone's collection. Weight is 6 pounds, 10 ounces. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!
From Reverb:
"The presence of these humbuckers ... make the Phase Three versions some of the most highly sought after Hi-Fliers."

The guitar in video below is not the one I'm selling, but video has lots of examples of different sounds you can get from one of these.
Guitar Setup
All setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
