Hi!
OK- first up, UV PWH. $1300, w/ UV1000 case. Early serial- 000052. Plays like buttah. I have 9-52 or 54 on it now. It has some nice dings here n there, nothing too major at all. All original except the buttons, and the trem cover is MIA. I am going thru boxes of stuff, and may yet find it. Otherwise, I could find out if Rich over at Ibanez Rules has any.
PICS HERE. Sorry if some are a little blurry. I am a bit banged up from two accidents, one left me a paraplegic, and holding steady aint always easy. I love this guitar. But, I dont like pickguards, dont want the inlays, and wish it had an ebony board instead of rosewood. Frets are in great shape, lots of life left. Board is in great shape as well. NEVER been gigged with, studio use only, and the little dings and light scratches are simply from my own clumsiness. One small, short stress crack on one side, other side clean. Case is prety close to new, still smells new even. Lock has never been set, stll has the red plastic saftey on even! OK, one problem with the case...I used some white-out to write "UVPWH" on the front edge. It is one of the pics in the link. If there is any pitting on the trem, it is so light that I didnt notice. 3 springs in. PWH, case and trem bar is what ya get. I dont think you will ever find a sweeter playing or sounding PWH with the original parts still on it.
Next up is the UV GR w/ UV1000. $1000. Or, if you feel better because you got a sweet UV for under 1k, make it $999. The trem bar will cost you $1 then tho
Case is same as the one for the PWH- close to new, still new smell, lock never used still has red saftey, and I used white-out to write "UV GR" on the front edge. I owned about 50 guitars for awhile, and keeping track was a pain. This one has been thru it. Nice sized areas with the paint gone, one wood chip in the horn even. Buttons not original, rest of it is tho. Frets are better than the "fretless wonder" Les Pauls of the 70's, but lower thaan 6105's. One or two crown n polish left int hem I think. Board is well aged, only a couple surface blems, no chips. This one plays like buttah times 10. Can take the action down to a thick hair off the fret tops! Trem is in excellent shape, 3 spring. No trem cover tho, still trying to find where I put them. I am also looking for the
truss rod cover for this one. I know I have that, just have to keep looking.
PICS HERE. Yeah, it looks like it has been played. Well, it has! But, it is completely solid and sounds great. Once again, I do not want to sell it. But, I want a plain fretboard (no inlays), no pickguard, and a quilt top. Even with the paint chipped, I would hate to mod this one ever. It deserves to live it's entire life as it is, period. Maybe swap a pickup for some more gain fi necessary for someone, but otherwise, please- leave it be.
I love both of these guitars VERY much. I am only selling because I realized I do not like just a few things about them. Pickguard gone and fill cavities, and then rear route both of them; quilt top/headstock face and blonde stain, and new maple board with no inlays or dots for the GR; different paint after the fill and rear route on the PWH, followed by ripping the board off and replacing it with an inlay-less and side dot-less ebony board and antique binding. I'd rather start from scratch, and give these guys a good home instead. Oh- I also have a 7-
string bass goin up on ****; Conklin GTBD7, natural, with Conklin softcase (close to hardcase, NOT a gig bag).
PICS HERE. $850, but has had the pre removed and jack changed. Otherwise all orignal and in excellent shape, never gigged. If interested, ask and I will give more details...
contact me: me -AT- nintheye -DOT- com, or PM here. More questions? Specific pic? Ask.

I use the name "nikki-k" (my real first and middle name) on almost every forum I post on (mostly DUC and Gearslutz, but several others once in awhile). I am in Portland, Oregon (SE close in, for those who know what that means; 97202). Local pickup/inspection before buying definitely available! Otherwise, will ship in USA 48 only. I will take Paypal (I am verified, confirmed address, premium account, been with them for several years), but only from verified with confirmed address, and will only ship to a confirmed address. Otherwise, personal checks, money orders accepted. Postal money order has guitar shipping within ~24 hours business days, all others ship when cleared. Using U-Line 50x20x8 guitar boxes to ship, typically cutting down the 50" length to fit better and save on shipping. Most guitar cases plus bubble wrap and packing material allow me to get it down to 45-47". Shipping paid by buyer. If you want to do escrow.com, I will cover up to $15 of that cost.
Thx!
