Dolphin Music, the leading supplier of musical equipment online, is excited to announce that one of the very rare 20th Anniversary Steve Vai Ibanez Universe UV77 RE electric guitars will be available on Dolphinmusic.co.uk from 15th May 2010. This is a very limited edition guitar. Only 100 being put in production across the world with only three are being sold in the UK, one of which will be for sale on the Dolphin Music website.
As one of the largest official Ibanez dealers, and because of its exceptional commitment to customers, Dolphin (Dolphinmusic.co.uk) has been selected as one of only three distributors across all of the country to sell the guitar. It was first unveiled in January at Winter Namm to exceptional acclaim, with stockists around the world clamouring to put in immediate bids to sell the guitar despite no supply times being confirmed.
Paul Oldfield, Category Manager at Dolphin Music said, “We feel unbelievably privileged to be one of the country’s exclusive sellers of this iconic guitar. The entire range of UV77 RE anniversary guitars are hand finished, which means that each one will become an individual piece of historical musical equipment, and with such a limited amount in production, it’s destined to become an instant collector's item. We expect demand to be incredibly high, so in order not to miss out, we’re urging customers to register their interest or even pre-order now.”
Steve Vai is universally acknowledged as changing the way musicians think about the heights a guitar can achieve. The original Steve Vai Universe model, released in 1990, was one of the best Steve Vai Signature models made and the first 7-string electric guitar ever produced. The Ibanez UV77 RE, available for £7,249, celebrates the 20th anniversary of the musical instrument’s milestone by carrying on the tradition of Vai’s guitar innovation.
Signature Steve Vai’s guitars are iconic, sublime, awe-inspiring and outrageous. The Ibanez JEM Series models are trailblazers in a world of imitators; there’s just nothing like them. The 20th Anniversary Ibanez Universe UV77 RE is a quintessential Steve Vai Signature model, with a stunning finish. Highlights include:
• UV77 RE’s basswood body recreates the legendary multi-color motif, arriving once again from original designer Darren Johansen, the master of swirl;
• All UV77 RE models are handcrafted by Ibanez’s finest luthiers in Japan, just like the original UV77’s;
• The UV comes equipped with the original 7-string Lo-Pro Edge 7 bridge, reproducing its original feel and look;
• The UV’s “Disappearing Pyramid” fretboard inlay;
• Fast and strong: UV77 RE’S 5-pc Maple/Bubinga bolt-on neck;
• The UV77 RE unleashes scorching highs, bone-rattling lows and every bit of tone and nuance in between, with its powerful and perfectly balanced DiMarzio® Blaze™ II humbucking and single coil pickups;
• Back view of the 7-string UV77 RE’s headstock, with black chrome hardware;
• UV77RE comes with an Ibanez flight case.
