Univox Les Paul Custom 1970s Lawsuit Era Electric Guitar w/ Original Hard Case

Subway Guitars in Berkeley CA is pleased to offer an early to mid 1970's (circa 1973), Univox Custom (U1885) electric guitar. The guitar is black with gold hardware. It's a Japanese made knock-off of the Gibson's Les Paul. It has a rosewood fretboard, mother of pearl inlays, single cutaway, Gibson-lawsuit era headstock, 2 humbucking pickups and Steel Adjustable Neck. It's serial number is 0135231 It includes the original case which is in fairly decent condition for it's age.

This axe was definitely meant for rock; like it's inspiration. The bridge pickup is raw, biting and twangy. The neck pickup is smooth and full with a slight bite. Overall, it really rocks!

This guitar was made in the famous Matsumoko guitar factory in Japan. It's the same factory that produced the Aria and Ibanez guitars. It was also the factory/company that was involved in the copyright lawsuit of the 1970's.

Univox guitars were made from the early 1960's through 1978. The guitars were made in Japan at the Matsumoko factory which burned down in 1985.
