 The first Hi-Fliers have a three-tone sunburst finish, pearloid white pickguard and truss rod cover.These very early Hi-Fliers are distinctly different from later models, having thicker bodies and necks, a "bar" type string tree that covers all six strings, larger fret markers for all frets except the two on the twelfth fret, dual black rocker switches on the pickguard, and a raised chromed-plastic "Univox" headstock logo.Sometime in late 1968 or early 1969, a limited special version, the Hi-Flier Custom, was produced.
