I must be mad.


I think I must be overworked, under stress or crazy.

Why would I do something as silly as I have.

I decided to sell my Ibanez Universe, after spending loads of time and money making it just right. I found a body on The horrible site and thought "It might be good to put a seven string together, I haven't got one of those." I'd never played or even held a seven string before. So prehaps not the best idea i've ever had...anyway. The plan was to get bits together over a period of time, but as with all good things, you just can't wait so the 6 month schedule changed to 3 months. Mainly only as long as this because I had to wait for the neck, as you may have read about on here from Ibanez. It wasn't originally going to be a true to spec universe, I was going to get anything that fit really, but I thought if I ever sell it on, you know...! Anyway after a particularly down trodden day after getting a rollocking of my boss for nothing, I thought i'd spend some time playing guitar, then realising how rubbish I was thought what am I doing with so many guitar, so I put the Universe up for sale on here, initially not bothered if it sold quickly. Then the following day I thought cr*p no-one wants it here so off onto the auction site from hell it went. I had some interest over the 24 hours it was on, including one very promising enquiry. Then I got to thinking about how much time and thought i'd put into it, and thinking what would I do with the money anyway, probably buy another guitar. So after taking more photos and playing it for a bit, and regretting every day the time I sold my mint RG-450MH i've decided to keep it.

So i'm maybe going to change pickups to EVO's as has been suggested when I change the scratchplate to personalise it more to my sound, any other suggestions welcome. Sorry for the rant, but my girlfriend or the dog won't understand. I know you guys will.

Keep shredding everyone.

I think that's the reason a few of us spend our time on this forum.

I'm glad you made the wise choice. From the sound of it, you would have regretted selling it. I know, speaking personally, that once that happens you'll end up longing for that guitar for the rest of your life.

Make sure to post the mandatory pics after she's the way you like it.
What kind of pickguard were you going to put on it?
