Story
Aptly named, the Univox Ripper of the mid-70s took the beloved Strat design and turned it on its head! It might look familiar at first glance, but if you’ve ever held an original in your hands you’d note the obvious differences: three HOT humbuckers, a 3-way switch with no in-betweens, and a foreign neck feel, to name a few. Love it or hate it, the guitar was an absolute powerhouse, and bore the unmistakable high-quality the Matsumoku name had become synonymous with.
Joining the ranks of our other successful Univox tribute guitars comes this latest Univox project: the Ripper!
With this release, we’ve captured the essence of the original guitar by including three hot-wound open-faced humbuckers. However, we’ve made one key addition that many owners of an original have sought out: a five-way lever switch instead of only three. Now you can capture the raw, unique “Ripping” tone of an original, but without sacrificing those sweet in-between positions.
Whether you’re channeling the spirit of the ’70s or forging new musical frontiers, the Univox Ripper is your gateway to sonic bliss and vintage inspiration.
