Item Description

Univox Custom Gold Top LP 1969 Gold Top / Black Back Finish Vintage Japan + OHSC Case

In the USA, Unicord was a manufacturer of electrical transformers, especially for Marshall amplifiers that were imported. In the early 60s, Unicord bought ACA (Amplifier Corporation of America) based in Westbury -New York county- (this is important for the rest of the story) and decided to offer its own tube amplifiers under their own brand. : Univox was born.

When in 1967 Unicord was bought by the Gulf and Western Company, a subsidiary, Merson Musical instruments, was created. To enhance its Univox catalog, it was decided to offer guitars. The first copies of Les Paul and Dan Armstrong arrived in 1969, notably with the model presented in this article, the U-1983 “Mother” model (a black model under the reference U-1982 also exist).

These beautiful guitars were produced by Matsumoku. The pickups are atypical. According to the best MIJ experts, these pickups were probably produced by Nisshin Onpa, before Maxon stamped their serial numbers; we therefore speak of Pre Maxon.
