Let me know what you thought! If you're new to the channel, I am giving away a SansAmp GT2 pedal once my channel reaches 5,000 subscribers. Stay tuned!
Nah, Phase 4 w the wraparound bridge has the best tone. I have two phase 3s as well. They’re cool but the trem system and bridge kinda kills the tone slightly.
Awesome! Love this. I have a ‘70s hi flier phase 3, which I love. It’s brutal. Straight all out punk machine. I have to turn the volume dooowwn with that guitar no need for distortion pedals at I see why Kurt loved em.
good comparison. I have never seen and been able to see that the univox has a higher output range. those pickups give the guitar extra punch. maybe the Eastwood with P90 could match the sound. Great video and beautiful guitars
Awesome comparison! I have a Eastwood phase IV with P90 and it has more output level that the one you're using with humbuckers. I have it on sale on Reverb if anyone is interested, by the way... I guess you can find it searching for Eastwood hi flier. I'm selling it from Spain. Awesome guitar and so easy to play!
Based on the claim by the late Steve Albini the In Utero producer as mentioned by Aaron Rash, the Univox Phase 3 is definitely the guitar was used by Kurt in that session.
Univox for me too. Will hopefully pick one up one day. I recently got a Harley Benton mr classic. It looks similar shape. Incredibly cheap, pretty good and even the p90s sound decent at gig levels. Doubt I’ll bother with a mosrite but univox is affordable still I guess
I have an eastwood with maple neck and can say the pickups sound good if the intonation wasn’t out of wack.... it doesn’t have a lot of sustain without diy tweaking... resonates and buzzes easily, definitely needs to be set up well.... would love and OG hi-flier but they go for a pretty penny these days
By buddy Tim bought a new Hi-Flier in '76 & never played it. I bought it from him in '78 for $100 when he needed rent money & I've had it ever since. I re-engineered the Trem so I can now do a deep dive or pull up a whole note, let go & it stays in tune. The moron at Mastery Bridge said it couldn't be done, and he had actually sawed one in half trying. I also swapped out the 3-on-a-plate tuners for 18:1 Grovers & junked the cheap, scratchy old pots in favor of Bourns "Blue" pots & Switchcraft switch & socket. The original Humbuckers stayed. I also have a Strat & a Les Paul. The Uni is my favorite solid body by far.
Just got mine eastwood univox its very fun to play Would have gotten the OG 70s one but they cost over $1500. But the eastwood hi flier is still pretty good.
Thank you for telling me and have you tryed to get Kurt's first guitar I have one I am keeping one and I am going to get another one it was a Ibanez with a checker board pickguard it cost me 1,500 when I get one I will sell it to you for 800 to 1,000 the year form the 70s and it is very rare to find and have a good day jq keep your work up
with the comparable guitars you have access to do you ever say ouuuu where's my eastwood lol be honest? the next re issue is about to drop and with content you provide you would be the person to ask.
bro, how can you strum the guitar the way I strum, if I strum like you, I'll hit all the strings except the ones I want to hit, please, how do you do it?
They sound the same distorted. I love the Univox because the clean sound is awesome. The Eastwood clean doesn't even come close. It was meant for nirvana heads and and punk players to rip it out. But I love the sound of my Phase 3 super clean and pretty much only rip it out for my nirvana nerd days
Let me know what you thought!

This is random but I really like your flannel
Same
The hi flier Phase 3 is the one to go for if you are going to get a Univox. The Phase 3 .. the one they got right! Highly sought after these days.

@@fogpumas Naaaa Phase I Custon es the best one.

Aneurysm sounds a lot spot on dude
Thanks!

Definitely the coolest guitar shape ever

does that harley benton guitar feel good to play? i’m looking into getting one of those
You're best video by far!!!
I never knew eastwood made these i thought they only made them with maple necks
Same here ngl

Hello Jacob , can you please make a video for the new Aria pro ii DM 206 ?
Univox looks and sounds so much better imo.
Just got mine eastwood univox its very fun to play Would have gotten the OG 70s one but they cost over $1500. But the eastwood hi flier is still pretty good.
I hear no difference between the two . Very nice video and guitars 😘
Thank you!
There's a difference, but the tone is slight. The Eastwood sounds a bit darker, more Gibson-ish. I wonder if the pickup height was the same.
Pickup height was the same, but the eastwood has lower output pickups
There's a huge difference. Particularly clean. One sounds like the engine of a classic muscle car, the other sounds like the engine of a hairdryer.
0:58 gotta replace that bridge, man. First thing you do with them. Those plastic roller saddles are tone killers.
During Swap Meet, the original Univox pickups sound like they are more microphonic than the Eastwood.
Man sure loves his treble
That Eastwood is sick
The univox sounds brighter but i kind of prefer the Eastwood
So happy I never paid more than 100 bucks for any of my Hi Flyers. And I have three.
Lets be real that price is alot closer to what it actually should be going for. 1k for a plywood/poplar guitar? No thanks.
Hi! i have an question what happened to your mesa Boogie studio preamp?
I'm asking cuz its not on the cab
I'm currently repairing it, the caps needed to be replaced. I have many videos planned once it's fixed.
what pickups on the eastwood do u think would make it sound closer to the univox
Hard to say for sure, the Univox's pickups have a specific sound. Maybe DiMarzio Super Distortions. I may make a Jaguar VS Univox video in the future.
paper cuts is not a power chord for the intro, its 1 on the first string and 2 on the second i think
Thanks for the comment, I realized after the recording of this video
Hey man I bet you would like this band called nirvana
Hey for a fender mustang the humbucker is it a sh-4 and I like your builds
Thank you! Yes it is
Thank you for telling me and have you tryed to get Kurt's first guitar I have one I am keeping one and I am going to get another one it was a Ibanez with a checker board pickguard it cost me 1,500 when I get one I will sell it to you for 800 to 1,000 the year form the 70s and it is very rare to find and have a good day jq keep your work up
ITS HEREEEEE YAYYYYY
Hey jq do you know any places I can get a real Univox for pretty cheap
Good awesome
Why when he did eastwood the Camera kept dying
with the comparable guitars you have access to do you ever say ouuuu where's my eastwood lol be honest? the next re issue is about to drop and with content you provide you would be the person to ask.
bro, how can you strum the guitar the way I strum, if I strum like you, I'll hit all the strings except the ones I want to hit, please, how do you do it?
You have to mute the strings you don't want to hit with your other hand. It will take a lot of practice to strum consistently
Did you have any tutorial?
@@smakenziiis I'm self taught, I just learned by practicing. It may help to sit down and play until you can get it right
I know but i dont know how can i mute the strings
@@smakenziiis With your fretting hand, touch the strings without pushing down on them
They sound the same distorted. I love the Univox because the clean sound is awesome. The Eastwood clean doesn't even come close. It was meant for nirvana heads and and punk players to rip it out. But I love the sound of my Phase 3 super clean and pretty much only rip it out for my nirvana nerd days
Play clint eastwood on the eastwood
the string action is too low? because the sound don't have any sustain.
The Univox sounds better
And when is the replica of Kurt's first Mustang made?
Saludos
Sound is better on univox my choice
hey can i have the eastwood guitar
Aneurysm 🔝
Sloppy playing
Whatever you say man 🤷♂️
I’d like to see you do better
Just like Kurt
