Univox Coily
The Coily was a hollowbody thinline guitar (U1825) and bass(U1835). Almost same guitar as Effie, except it had
Bigsby-style vibrato, roller bridge w/ dip-up mute and chrome covered humbuckers. Older models had the Univox logo written in a horizontal curly script at the top, later had the more familiar vertical logo.
