I don't know for sure but doubt that they are any longer MIJ.Line6 Variax Standard Sunburst, modeling electric guitar, handmade, based on the Yamaha Pacifica, alder body, bolt on flat thomann "C"-profile maple neck with rosewood fretboard, Radius: 336,6 mm (13 1/4 Inches), 22 frets, Nut width: 41,9 mm, scale: 648 mm, Alnico V single-coil pickups, Special vintage tremolo bridge, Graph Tech Nut, integrated Variax HD modeling technology with 13 electric guitar models and thomann 10 models of acoustic guitars and exotic stringed instruments, 11 alternate tunings (custom tunings can also be programmed), 16 different pickup models (selectable in the free Workbench HD software) Electronics: Volume, Tone, Model Bank, Alt tuning, 5-way pickup switch, VDI connection (Variax Digital thomann Interface) for direct integration with Line 6 POD HD Series, also works without battery as a normal, passive electric guitar, chrome hardware, sealed machine heads, Color: Sunburst, incl. Yours is a generic "post-lawsuit" model (not that there was any actual lawsuit, but yours has the non-Gibson headstock and body shape). Somewhat bizarrely, Eastwood has reissued its copy of a Univox Hi-Flyer - i.e. Kurt Cobain played a Hi-Flyer in the "Heart Shaped Box" video, which is the main source of the cachet they now enjoy. The hi-flyer was a copy of a Mosrite, like the one Johnny Ramone played. I fixed it up, used it as a spare for a couple of years, then sold it to a friend for 100 bucks. However, the guitar had a sandwiched plywood body and was of no significant value. I got one for free from a friend that came with a pair of vintage DiMarzio Super Distortions. They had the exact shape (body and headstock) of a 70s Gibson Les Paul. The old Univox Les Pauls (like the Gimme model) that some people collect were made in Japan in the 1970s, many if not all in the storied Matsumoku factory.
Following up on the success of our Hi-Flier, Univox Bass, and best-selling Phase IV MT), we felt it was time to shine the light on a lesser-known Univox offering: the UC3.
Anyone whos played one can agree: these resonant yet light-weight guitars are absolute workhorses with a dash of punk rock flair. Looks like a newer Univox, not one of much value unfortunately. Original Univox guitars have always been some of our favourites.
