Welcome to the club bro!

[jymellis]

thanx buddy how do you tell if these are a 1991 or 1990?

[teqnick]

Congrats man!

[s_k_mullins]

EPIC!
Congrats jym on having one of the greatest guitars ever!

[ZOMB13]

Sick score!

But one thing I noticed in about 95% of used guitars is that they never have the tremolo cavity cover !

[Fred the Shred]

At last you'll stop trying to nick my UV7. Congrats, bro!

You can see the year via its serial number, BTW.

[OrsusMetal]

Here you go man! Date your ibby! The UV had some pretty interesting serial #s according to this site. You should be able to figure it out here.

Ibanez Rules DATE YOUR IBANEZ

And congrats! That thing is sick!

There really is no good way to determine what year these "neck-plate-numbered" Ibbys are from.

You pretty much have to look at the little things and ball park it.

In 1990 half the UV's got the Edge 7, opposed to the Lo-Pro Edge 7, so it's not a really early example. Then, you have the middle Blaze single coil. In late 91'/early 92' they switched the pole pieces from silver slug style, to the black hex screw style. Then there's the neck plate, those with 200,000+ numbers were later models.

If I had to guess I'd say that your Green Dot is from 96' based on the small details mentioned.

The UV7BK "Green Dot" was produced from 90'-94', skipped 95', and were brought back for their last year in 96'.

[jymellis]

i thought 96 ibanez's had the aanj

[Fred the Shred]

Weren't '96 Green Dots MIK? I remember holding one from that period and it was a Korean guitar.

[orb451]

Not UV's, or most JEMs for that matter. My 97' Silver Dot has block-heel as well. In fact the only UV to get the AANJ was the 98' and forward UV777PBK.

Nope. All Ibanez Universe guitars, regardless of year and model were MIJ.

Hi, I'm Fred, and I have Alzheimer's...

Must be confusing that axe with something else. Since there weren't many 7's around by then, I could even look for them, but I really cba to chase after something I tried alongside a '96 UV7 when I was 20.


BTW - Jym, you got your wish. It is only fair I get mine as well. Send the S over nao, biatch!

It's all good bro.

I could hardly tell you what I had for breakfast last week. I'm just a UV nut.

[ralphy1976]

great job Jym!!! looks totally sick as it is, and i would leave it as it is really, looks dope!!! glad that your 12 years wait is finally over and you got an absolute steal of a deal!!!!

also your pal looks like Mike Vallelly to me......

[Raoul Duke]

Congrats bro! That guitar is awesome

I hope to one day join the green dot club

[theo]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is amazing, congrats man. I am so jealous :p

[Stealthdjentstic]

I hate you, if there's one guitar I really want, it's a green dot

I had no idea Ken plays for aborted, how long has that been going on?
