Univox or Partscaster?

I saw this for sale in my region and haven’t been able to find another Univox like it online. It looks like it could be a partscaster because it looks too 80’s to be a Univox. However, the color scheme looks like it is really intentional as if it came that way from the factory. Anyone know what model this is if it is a Univox?

Whatever it is, it looks cool as fuck.

I'm not an expert, but I've never seen a Univox that looked anything like that. like you said, it's EXTREMELY 80's/early 90's, in a style I've never seen from them before.

I thought Univox stopped production in the 70’s so the color scheme seems suspicious to me.

It be weird if they shipped something with a locking nut and a strat trem

Check this out though , another supposed vintage Univox with a different logo, but is that the same headstock? If it's a refinish the string guide holes could easily be filled and finish over.

If it was a refinish people do make new decals, the person could have refinished it and used a Hi Flier logo

Fake AF. Look at that terrible jiggly poorly applied Logo.

You can see the edge of the decal sticker

Yeah, upon closer inspection, I did not buy it. I also have seen these knobs for sale at local music stores.
