My ultimate UV scheme

Rabin · #1 08-11-2003, 09:19 AM

I have my UV777bk since november 2001. Quite happy with it...fine. But I've never liked the neck PUs sound. Dont flame me, but I just dont get it.
So I have been dreaming about this thing for some time. I'd like to place a sustainer at neck. I tried to look around. But there's no seven string sustainer available in a kit!
So that's where I'd like you ppl's opinion. Are there 7 string sustainers available? And would that be a good idea to have one on my UV?
Then...that's not all...if I can actually get this thingy done. What do you think would be the total cost of putting the sustainer in plus chrome vine inlays on the neck..instead of the pyramids?

Wouldnt that be a very very sweet looking (plus souding I guess) UV?

Chrome vine is $325 from lgm (banner at the top)
sustainer dunno

yes, plus figure in shipping which is a good amount back and forth cross
borders

also a refret, and a new fretboard if your really picky

I do believe there is a 7 string sustainer available, I think fernandes had a 7 string model with sustainer.
The inlay price there doesn't include a refret though

in case you have someone particular you want to refret.

I'm actually doing a UV777BK right now with chrome vine

a sustainer sounds like a cool idea, but i would personally keep those pyramids, they look so good on the UV.

This looks quite sweet and simple to install! But does it sound sweet? Anybody every played with a guitar with a sustainiac?
