New Guitar Day: Ibanez UV777BK

mrp5150 · 07-12-2007, 08:42 PM

Just picked this up the other day. Usually not a fan of basswood guitars, or DiMarzio pickups, but I got it for a decent price and it looks pretty badass so I figured what the hell.

It's a pretty light guitar and the neck is pretty nice on it. Kinda sanded down, real easy to play. Fretboard looks nice and dark after I put some Fret Doctor on it. Not sure what to think of the tone, it really doesn't have the crunch I usually like. It seems a bit too smooth sounding on palm mutes and such. Doesn't really sound anywhere as huge or thick as a mahogany body guitar IMO. I really wish it did though, because I love how it looks. I'll give it a few more days, but I'm probably gonna end up selling it.

I recorded a short clip with it, just part of a Scar Symmetry song. Playing is real sloppy, nothing special.

Here are some pics as well.

it may be worth the wait to hold out on selling that beauty until the EMG Blackout's come out. they'll be making some standard-sized 7's, so you'll be able to drop them in.

Hey man, feel free to PM me an offer for it if you want. It used to belong to Joe DeGroot of Enforsaken.

Not really a fan of active pickups. I was thinking about putting a Duncan JB7 in it, but I just don't think I would like it as much as I do in a mahogany body guitar.

Leon · 07-12-2007, 09:27 PM

ahh, yeah, i've heard that Duncan's aren't really tight in basswood.

if you decide to sell it... well... you're in the right place

Man, I've always thought the 777BKs looked good with black pickguards, and this is no exception. Nice score!

Weird lookin grain on the fretboard, but the pickguard is kinda cool.

God damn is that nice. When I acquire my UV777BK (I saw it in my dreams

), I'm putting that pickguard on it.

i'm not sure if i dig the diamond plate, but its way better than the mirror that comes stock.

and i like it way more without the middle single coil IMO.

I also think it looks much better with only the 2 humbuckers.

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
