heads up on Universe for sale in London


in Rockers on Denmark Street there's a 2nd hand Universe UV777GR for sale...going for 1,995 British Pounds if anyone is interested. Also a Jem/RG prototype once owned by Vai is going for 3,995 !!!

I went in and the very helpful staff managed to find me an elusive missing fine tuner for my UVMC, which cost me all of a quid

1995 quid might seem kinda okay when you consider that there's an MKR UVMC for sale here in one of our august music shops in Sydney for $10K Australian - madness huh? - oh yeah, they've also got what could only be described as a beater JEM10 for the same price!

There's a UV777GR with original green pups for sale in G.T.R Drum and Bass on Wood St. Huddersfield (UK) search gtrguitars.co.uk.

They're asking for offers I think though.

yeah, almost exactly the same as the one I saw, but the one in Denmark St has the original pickups.

Blimey, that's ridiculous !! One of my mates saw one over here for GBP 3,250. I do have to mention at this stage that my MKR UVMC cost me all of 500 quid

Re: heads up on Universe for sale in London


I've seen that one. Although it does look pretty cool i wouldn't pay for what they're asking for. I could get my own custom 7 string for that money

There's a UV77MC at PMT in Northampton for £3250. I relieved them of a UV777BK instead....

I didn't have a long look, but in the shop lights i don't think it was MKR....

Don't have a clue to be honest

Rip off as it's just a normal UV anyway when you come down to it

Doesn't £1995 strike anyone as a tad expensive?
