Hi guys

Just let us know what you think about the brand new ibanez catalog 2013 about JEM et UNIVERSE ?

In particular the JEM7V7 ???
According to me, she's Woawwwww

!!!)

And the Universe Premium model ???
Mmmm.... Ok... But where's the original one ? why ibanez didn't produce any Universe "made in japan" in 2013 ???
Ok, she's black since so long time but she could have been refresh but not deleted

)

And you my friends and Jem&Uv fans, what do you think about it ???

Cheers.

Manta.

Where does it say that Ibanez need to release a MIJ UV every year ? This year they released an indo UV and a MIJ 7 string Jem... I dont understand why thats not good enough... ???

Agreed 100%. For me the Indo Universe fits right into my budget. It's a really nice looking guitar for a great price. I have been dying to pick up a seven string since I sold my RG7421 a few years ago. And now I have the opportunity to get an Ibanez Premium Universes for under 2k. I can't wait to pick one up.

Ok, who else read this using Borat's voice? I can't be the only one.

Meh, seems to me like an underrating operation for the Universe, maybe the end of the original top notch 7 string line to let the new 7 string Jem rise

The new universe has a crappy term :-(

Please explain the extensive experience you've had with the EZ2 to come to this conclusion.

I'd like to know too cuz I was under the impression that the EZ2 is a good bridge. I have an EZ bridge on my RG2550z and I love that bridge - stable and stays in tune.

What's your opinion on the EZ2 Rich? I'm not sure how it differs from the original EZ on my 2550z

Rich · #13 02-05-2013, 05:07 PM

It's virtually the same bridge as the EZ sans the intonation bolt.

Sorry guys I shouldn't have said that since all of my Ibanez's have Edges, Edge Pros or Lo-Pro Edges. I was under the impression that anything with a 2 or 3 is not nearly as good as the Edge or Zero. I have had horrible experience with the TRS Trem on a RG7420. I have heard that the edge 2 and 3s are not good and have felt that in guitar stores so I assumed the Zero 2 would be the same kind of thing.
