They hit ebay once in a while, gbase has some overpriced ones.

I shopped around my phase 3 for a trade, but deals were never sealed. It was funny, as soon as I put mine on the market, two identical natural phase 3s went on the 'bay.

Good heavens no. They stopped making them in the early '80s, I think?

You can get an Eastwood Hi-Flyer (copy) but they're thick as fuck, the thing I always liked about the Unis was how unusually thin they were for their body size. The Eastwoods are also set-neck, so overall I wouldn't expect them to be that close to the originals. You also can't get them with humbuckers, not that they'd be the cool Univox buckers anyway. They'll look more or less the same face-on though, and they cost about $400.
