I switched to Ibanez about 6 months before I went to 7.

I won an RG770 in a guitar competition in 1993. I didn't really want the guitar, because I was a Charvel/Jackson fan and had one of each at the time. It seemed everyone was going to Ibanez, and I just wasn't buying the hype. Once I spent a couple of weeks with it, my eyes were opened and I got rid of the Charvel/Jacksons.

While I loved my Charvel/Jacksons, they never really fit me out of the box. I had to add Ibanez trems and aftermarket pickups to make them acceptable to me.

Once I got the Ibanez, it had everything I wanted. No routing for trems, no soldering. Shortly after that, I got my UV77MC and that was it.
