Anyone with a silver dot have a similar number? Mine says A065002. Decoder is saying it’s a ‘90 Korean made serial number. I know it’s possible for this to not be the factory neck plate. But that seems kind of concerning if it’s not the correct serial number.

Would anyone happen to know who is making correct spec (material, size, etc) Universe decals? I have a UV7PWH that could do with a new one. Thanks.

Going back and forth between buying a UV70P and waiting for a UV7BK, I finally found one of the latter and took the plunge. It's possible you've seen this one on ebay (Europe). The previous owner had a replacement neck built by a luthier (Jacaranda) with similar support layering seen in newer...

Looking for a player condition UV7BK in europe if possible. Not picky, only requirement is no deep gashes. Dings and other wear is alright.

Hi guys hoping someone could advise... I've had a UV7 Bk for as long as I can remember I bought it off my guitar teacher at the time and have owned it since easy 20 years. I brought it out to be serviced the other week and had a look at the plate on the back and it says JEM with the serial. I...

Jem and Universe re-issues, what would you like Ibanez to do? Just throwing this out there, given all the speculation about what Ibanez are up to regarding a 2020 Jem refresh... If Ibanez asked you what Jem or Universe re-issue you wanted them to release (or you think they should release) in...

Hello - I'm considering selling my 90's Ibanez UV77-MC. It's all original, has an incredible swirl, and plays perfectly. It has dings and chips, but again, the swirl makes up for quite a bit in my opinion. I'm trying to get handle on where to price it. It seems to me that the only authentic...
