NEW 25TH ANNIVERSARY IBANEZ UV77SVR + Certificate Of Authenticity + All Tools + Ultralite Tremolo Arm
UV77SVR - Silver - 25TH Anniversary - Ibanez has unleashed the hounds with the new series of 3 swirled UV's to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Passion and Warfare.
The 3 versions are all derived from the now infamous album of the same name, Passion, Warfare, and Silver for the 25th Anniversary. Technically a year late, Steve will be doing a P&W tour to support the remastered release and the Anniversary [much like Joe did a 20th anniversary Surfing tour]. The guitars are Sugi built just as the 77RE's were, and the main contributor to the retail pricing. There is only 77 of each version built, with 38 slated for US distribution. It is rumored that HUSA will keep a set for their permanent collection leaving 111 for US collectors and players alike. These hand crafted guitars draw on the color schemes present in the original album artwork, depicting the ravages of a war-torn hell juxtaposed against a nirvana-like state of passion for life and for love. The third in this series of celebratory editions looks to the traditional role silver plays in observance of a 25th anniversary, marrying it with a design reminiscent of Steve’s custom 7-string, used when touring with Whitesnake, immediately following the release of Passion & Warfare. The 3 dimensional show display just has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated, and the plexiglass wall did not help in showing the guitars at their best. As always, swirls look better in person than in any picture. |
THIS IS A VAULT GUITAR
Please note. This guitar is part of our private collection, the "VAULT" collection of guitars. A place reserved for finest guitars we could find, that have immense value to us as collectors, players and enthusiasts of these incredible instruments. Whilst they are not technically for sale the vault was created to allow fans and other collectors to take a look and we also took the decision to allow other enthusiasts the opportunity, if they wish, to put in an offer on the guitars of our dreams.

The UV77 features an American basswood body mated to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with disappearing pyramid inlays. Components include DiMarzio Blaze pickups in an HSH configuration, a low profile double locking tremolo bridge with an Ultralite tremolo arm and a locking nut.
2015 marked the 25th anniversary of the release of Steve Vai's landmark solo album, Passion & Warfare. Critically acclaimed and publicly celebrated for its unique artistic vision and sheer musical muscle, Passion & Warfare, is now considered the milestone that marks the arrival of the 7-string solid body electric guitar.
This 7-string guitar, which Steve dubbed the 'Universe', was showcased prominently on Passion & Warfare, and opened the door for guitarists of every musical background to expand their artistic horizons.Initially adopted by like-minded guitar virtuosos, Steve's vision of a new musical landscape took a turn that perhaps even he hadn't anticipated when, in the hands of Korn and other purveyors of 90's new metal, the 7-string became mandatory equipment for anyone engaging in the genre.
Since that time, Steve, along with countless other 7-string enthusiasts have continued to incorporate the Universe into a myriad of musical settings that have both inspired and challenged the world.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Passion & Warfare, Ibanez presents three limited edition Steve Vai Universe models. Each of the three are inspired by Steve’s vision and representative of the musical impact that this timeless album had on the world of music.
Using the same colorful swirled patterning associated with the original Universe, Ibanez presents this 21st century re-visitation of Passion & Warfare. These handcrafted guitars draw on the color schemes present in the original album artwork, depicting the ravages of a war-torn hell juxtaposed against a nirvana-like state of passion for life and love.
The third in this series of celebratory guitars looks to the traditional role silver plays in observance of a 25th anniversary, marrying it with the color combination reminiscent of the custom 7-string that Steve used when touring with Whitesnake, immediately following the release of Passion & Warfare.
