UNIVOX: LIMITED EDITION-(TV1) circa 1970 Univox Limited Edition-TV1 - Les Paul Jr. or Melody Maker style electric guitar. This is an early 1970's (or late 1960's), Univox Limited Edition (TV-1) electric guitar. It includes the original case but it's a bit worn. This guitar was made in the infamous 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. The guitar is "wine red"; which is a translucent red. I believe the body is Mahogany wood. It's a Japanese made knock-off of the Gibson Melody Maker or Les Paul Jr. It has a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, double cutaway, Gibson-lawsuit era headstock, and 1 P90 pickup. From what I can tell it appears to have a glued-on neck. This guitar is serial number 001xxx which is stamped on the back of the headstock so it's an early model. It also appears to have had a sticker on the headstock, presumably it said "Made In Japan." It is completely original. This guitar was definitely meant for rock. It's got a heavy sound like you'd find on it's inspiration. Description from VintageSilvertones.com
