Ibanez
Universe UV77MC Serial # SV01 An early Ibanez Universe 7-string prototype, this guitar boasts the same neck as the Universe 7BK Black/Green model, instead of the disappearing pyramid inlays on standard multicolor models. This was one of the first swirl Universes, toured extensively with the Whitesnake Slip of the Tongue World Tour. As a result, the highly-visible guitar was seen in numerous photos and magazine covers from 1989 through 1991, and also appeared as the featured model in the 1990 Ibanez catalog. The non-standard neck plate is engraved with the serial number SV01, and all electronics in the back are exposed. The knob for the pickup selector switch is also missing. The back spring cavity is extensively covered up with gaffer and masking tape. Also on the back is a small white piece of tape featuring notes on a number of guitar specs including string gauge (.009 - .053) and switch/fret modifications. As can be expected for a guitar that has toured heavily, there is quite a bit of wear and paint chipping along the edges of the body. This guitar is kept in The Harmony Hut, Encino. |
