Re: Custom Universes!!!!


Similarly, with the black and green customization, i thought this one was pretty cool. The fretboard especially. Not a huge fan of the triangles coming off the trem rout though...

Re: Custom Universes!!!!


one that comes to mind is the 7 string not posted here long ago, its a 7vsbl. My personal fav though is the ET GMC which was posted awhile ago, it was beatiful.

That is very nice, not universe-ish enough with no pickguard and an EMG.

This was a custom made mahogany swirled UV body for a shredder in Arizona USA. The neck was a UV original, with fretboard replaced with Ebony and custom shell inlays. We put his name, "Eric Michael Gavel" also on the headstock in neon green script, when we refinished it. This was one of our first major projects a few years ago, and had a lot of fun with it

Re: Custom Universes!!!!


Thought I would chip in my two custom UV's. Both have original UV necks and trems but the rest is custom.







I sold my 2027... second time Ive done that and Im really annoyed with myself for losing it... such a truly brilliant guitar.. however still got the other two

Yeah mate, its me!!! Cheers for the patience, its one of those things...i just like doing a job right the first time!!!
With the font, i'll just need the letter 'a' designed and the rest of the letters are in the word 'universe' so its 90% of the prob solved there!!
With the inlay...we'll you'll see
