Folks,

I have only a few items this year coming to Union.

• Home Model B with a rare "J" repeater
  Vintage 1970's Univox Les Paul Custom Guitar
  Fender Super Champ XD Tube Amplifier

Contact me with interest at: [email protected] Or find me at Union!

I am not planning on setting up my paper for sale, if you have any paper you want to purchase, let me know before Thursday morning and I'll bring just what you are looking for. Reproduced paper listing attached.

Thanks!

Shawn I didn't know you were a picker...
Just for the record...I had a 70's Univox Hi Flier guitar and it was one the best guitars I've even owned. I've had fenders, gibsons, yamahas, etc. but I regret selling the Univox the most.

Thanks Bob!! I agree it is a stunning guitar. If I wasn't 100% acoustic, I would not be selling it!

I too had a Univox "Black Beauty" like this one, but mine lacked the headstock decoration, and the "Univox" script was in gold. I loved that guitar, but I sold it to a local music store in the fall of 1972 to help pay for college tuition. The guitar disappeared almost immediately.

Eighteen years later I moved back into the area and asked the owner of the music store if he knew whatever happened to that guitar. It turned out that a fellow in a nearby village had bought it and evidently loved it as much as I did. When he died suddenly, the guitar was buried with him! Holy Smokes!

I've thought about getting an old Univox like this and trying to re-live my youth, but there are already too many guitars around here...
