These are 3 of my guitars....only the Univox qualifies as "Vintage"...maybe...depends on how you feel about mid-60's Matsumoku-made guitars. They built under a lot of names, Epiphone included. This Univox has been refretted (my first attempt), modified for humbuckers in lieu of the original pickups (which were long-gone). I got rid of the poor Bigsby copy and replaced it with a trapeze for tuning stability. Same with the keystone-style tuning machines. The originals were pretty poor. Happy with the result. Funky vibe.

The strat is a parts-caster that also turned out quite well. GFS classic 63 pickups-jury is still out on those. The Hamer has no serial number but I'm guessing 90's and probably Korean made. It has a repaired headstock so it didn't cost a lot. Repair seems very stable and it sounds great.
