updated. I added a new video still of the Heart Shaped Box video. I've never wanted a Nirvana poster until right now. How cool would a good quality poster of that video still look!?

I have one of these, white, 1976. Plays great, sounds great and is very light on the shoulder. I wouldn't sell it for anything.
ReplyDeleteI seen a guitar case that said "White Univox" in Kurt's storage unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MndZF6TFy-Q (start at 51 seconds and you'll see it)
ReplyDeleteI had a 1976 (right handed) that I got in 1980 when I was 11 years old. I loved that guitar. The neck was as straight as the Les Paul I bought at age 16. At age 13 I got an Ibanez Roadstar II and molded it with a Bill Lawrence L500 neck pickup (you should have seen the luthier when this 13 year old girl walked into his shop with that p/u and asked for the installation. Hahaha! ) I got rid of the Univox. In hind sight, I wish I still had it. Played so beautifully.
Delete*modded not molded
DeleteStill in KURTS ESTATE,currently in the underground storage bunker..
ReplyDeleteI saw the ebay listing back in the day. Wanted it pretty bad. I think it sold for around $1600
