My new UV777BK : THANKS Shane !!!

[chlamy]

Just got my UV777BK delivered that I bought from Shane Regal. Condition was pristine, bullet proof packed, setup tiptop, a truly amazing guitar. Simply the most beautiful guitar I've had in my life ....

And those chrome knobs do look way better than the original black ones !

Can't wait to be home to try it out !

A big UP for Shane, many thanks for the very cool extras too ! I'll give her a good home !

Thanks also to jemsite for being such a cool community, a few years ago I wouldn't have bought unseen guitars from people I don't know !

Long live Jemsite and Shane !

man, i love those UV777BK's.

they were the first 7-string i ever played, and i loved everything about it. except for that stupid pyramid on the body.

congrats, buddy.

Yeah i bought my UV7BK from here, and i couldnt be happier. Pretty soon i'll be in the market for a 777pbk like yours too. My green Uni needs another one to keep it company when im not around ;p

[chlamy]

What keeps amazing me is the playability of this thing ! I feel more comfortable than on my 77FP ... which was hard to beat !

It feels absolutely great and plays like butter. The attention to detail is also astonishing.

Guess it'll become my main player very soon

is it just 7 strings in general maybe? I just love the wide yet thin necks on my universe and my RG7's. And yes, my UV7BK blew me away too. At first,when i got it, i was underwhelmed,but then i was like "This isnt set up very good". So i gave it a good setup, lowered the action/pickups, adjusted the bridge, put my kind of strings on and low and behold, the best playing guitar i've ever owned.

I totally agree on the neck. For instance, I play all the songs that I know on the six string, better and more comfortably on the UV, even when not using the low B for a single note ... I just love those wide necks I believe.

Well the most difficult part for me (I'm pretty new to 7 strings) will be to actually really incorporate that low B smoothly in my overall playing, which will take some time, thanksgiving week-end is a perfect timing

Congrats on the new universe. I love my UV777BK as well. It is one of the most beautiful guitars ever.

Hey all!
I'm a rookie here but I'm also a proud owner of a universe! Got mine about 3 months ago. It's almost stock apart from the cosmo-black hardware. I'm also planning on building a new white pearl pickguard to it cuz it might give a bit of an antique feeling... I'll post pics if anyone is interested....

As you can see, the original hardware is replaced with cosmo black ones and the volume and tone knobs are a bit different from the originals... next I'm gonna do is a white pearl pickguard to it.
