I really don't understand your reason behind "bitterly" hating the UV7BK. I think it is simply a
beautiful guitar, i mean, come on, if your talking about beauty, I dont think a swirl of yellow, green, blue, and black is to stylish, especially with the whole 80s look, is very beautiful, more, 80's out of style look.
Everyones excuse for hating the UV7BK is becuase it is plain or does not "fit". First off, it does fit, it is the same thing ass all the other early universes, they all have green pickups and stuff, except they have peramid inlays and ugly swirls of "puke". Peramid inlays are cool, but i think this guitar is unique, partly becuase the green fret dots fit perfect but all the other universes have peramids. Second, some people say it just doesn't fit with all the other models, well, its a
steve vai model guitar, he designed it, he liked, so it fits with him. Now if it fits with him and these are HIS signature guitars, please explain to me how this guitar does not fit?
I think the color contrast is just perfectly ballanced on this guitar, and it plays like a dream! Enough dissing this guitar. Out of all of my friends, they all like this and think the swirls are ass ugly ass my hairy ass.
