The bridges have changed since then (From the Edge 7 to the LoPro Edge 7 to what is now the Edge Pro 7) and the colours have got a whole lot less cool. We had multicolour swirls (known as MC's or swirls), green/black (greendots/'91 UVs), white (PWH's), green with maple fingerboards and yellow/green pups (GN's), black/silver (Silverdots/ '97 UV's)...
Now we have some heap of shit with a plastic scratchplate and a shitty pyrmaid on the body. Teh new UV777PBK is my least favourite of the lot.
But to summarise, yeah, the necks are really why people can't stand the new ones. the Silverdot was the last good one they made.  |
Meh. I love my UV777PBK. I didn't want a garish paint job, I like the neck profile (although not as much as my Carvin), I LOVE EdgePro's. I'll agree the fretwork isn't the best, but oh well. To each his own. Aside from an old green dot, no old UV really interests me.
