Univox Hi Flier case

Post by Dustin.Rouan » Wed Nov 15, 2023 5:25 am

I’m looking for a replacement case for my Univox Hi Fliers. What cases fit them and what’s your preferred case?

They fit in reissue Jag/JM cases made by G&G (which I usually got for my Hi Fliers).

While Hi Fliers don't usually fit in Strat cases, they typically fit in the generic rectangular TKL "premier" type (or at least they did years ago, double check the dimensions).

Eastwood makes a Hi-Flier clone and sells soft cases with them. Easy Google search.

Yeah, I don’t want to put these in a gig bag or soft case.

Any generic rectangular Strat/tele case fits fine as long as there's no internal moulding for the guitar's contours. I have my HFs in G&G and G&G knock-off Fender cases and they fit fine.

I tried it in a universal gator case over the weekend but it didn’t fit. They let me try several cases but none of them worked. Does anyone have the dimensions of a hi flier?

Not to hand but it's the same as a left handed strat pretty much so if you get a generic rectangular case it'll fit as long as the width is OK. A G&G case for a strat or Tele is perfect.
