Univox, Teisco, GFS Phantom Copy Project Finished.

[cooter]

Started this one recently. Vox Phantom style body, vintage 60's Teisco pickups, roller bridge, Univox "Gimme" knobs and strap buttons.
The neck was one of the unfretted, unradiused necks the GFS was blowing out. I put a 7.25" radius on it and fretted it.
Unfortunately I don't think the horseshoe trem is going to work. The break angle may be too steep for the bridge.

Nice! A jag trem would look cool on that - especially if you could get a different shape plate for it. What are you going to do with the pickups, route holes for them?

[cooter]

Thanks
Yeah, I'll figure out my routes and then make a pickguard for it.

Seeing Christopher's Phantom Project made me want to resurrect my boat paddle build.
The pickguard is made now. I wound up losing the bigsby because I wasn't happy with the break angle on the strings.
It's much better with the gfs teisco copy trem. This build will have more in common with the Teisco EV Phantom copy
than a true Vox Phantom.

Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement. Just wish I had more time to work on guitars. Life's been really busy for me lately.

Thanks. And thanks for the inspiration I needed to get back on this one.

Looks great! Sixties square blue or heart-shaped sunglasses would fit that style o guitar

Finished this one up. It only took a little over a year. Flat black paint and a hodgepodge of Teisco, Univox and GFS parts. I threw a Univox decal on the headstock since I had one and Univox should have made a Phantom copy anyway.
