Welcome Rylan! I've had several Hi Flyers. They're cool guitars.

thanks for the welcoming...ok so on a side note is it Hi Flier or Hi Flyer? i've seen both just as many times but i'll defer to those who have owned them for more than a day...

even if i'll never actually own a Mosrite i still love looking at them and reading all i can about them so i think i'm in the right place.

Welcome
There are many of us that would love to have an original Mosrite, but
at this forum you can get some great info.

Welcome, Please do tell about your Univox. Which parts is it missing? And I do believe that it is referred to as the Hi Flyer.

Welcome to the Forum. I owned a Univox many years ago, in the early 70's. It was a good little guitar - got it from a pawn shop for about $75 or $100 ... Now the toys cost a little more ...

again thanks to everyone for the warm welcoming. my Hi Flyer is a natural finish phase 3. it's missing a few things and the 2 things i'm having the most trouble with are the bridge and tremolo. i did find a bridge on ebay today that should work so i'm hoping that it doesn't go for too much and i may just have to settle for a replacement jazzmaster trem. i asked eastwood about buying one of their Hi Flyer trems but they doesn't keep them in stock unfortunately. the other big thing that it's missing is the pickguard but i found one on ebay and snagged it.

i paid $233 for it and i think i can get it running for around $100 so i don't think i'm doing too bad, at least not yet.

Welcome to the club Foxfire and good luck in getting your Univox to 100% (or close to it ;) ) operating status!
