I'm sure I can't be the only one to think that the old UVs with the green pickups and inlays looked amazing. Would there be any chance of a re-issue?

I'm a long-time fan of this model - it was the first Universe that I purchased brand new in 1991. It's still with me to this day... since then I've added an RG7-620GN and a UV777BK... as far as 7-strings go.

I'd be interested in a reissue that featured the AANJ... but I suspect that there'd be a certain intangible 'something' that would be quite different. One thing for certain; the thickness of the finish would change things up, as they used to be massively thick... I find that my UV7BK and my Jem777LNG are both VERY loud acoustically... and have a certain special something to the way that they resonate while being played in general.
I don't know what the magic recipe is there.

Nonetheless, I'd be quite eager to test drive (and probably want to acquire) a reissue/update version.

Not only that, but to be blunt, another black guitar is the last freakin' thing Ibanez needs right now. Their whole seven string lineup needs some help. Why not a maple fingerboard Universe in blue with blue pyramid inlay and pickups, or maybe candy apple red with red pyramid inlay and pickups. --Jason
