Ibanez UV70P Steve Vai Premium, 7 String, Black Overview
Built to the highest standards, Ibanez's Premium UV70P delivers total 7-string playability with tone like no other instrument. For starters, you get the awesome playability of a 5-piece maple/walnut Premium Wizard 7 neck, easily one of Ibanez's fastest neck designs ever. A trio of DiMarzio Blaze pickups up the ante with epic bass, clearly articulated highs, and gently scooped mids, giving your UV70P a pre-EQ'ed hi-fi tone. Wrap it up with a performance driven Edge Zero II-7 tremolo bridge, and you're in business!When DiMarzio's Blaze pickups came onto the scene in the dawning days of the 1990s, the sound of virtuoso rock changed forever. This Ibanez UV70P gives you that same groundbreaking sound in all its classic glory. The bass response is absolutely fantastic, giving your low B thunderous overtones. At the same time, the UV70P delivers sparklingly clear highs that cut nicely when distorted and shine when clean. And with a pronounced midrange scoop, this trio of DiMarzio Blaze pickups deliver the front-and-center hi-fi sound any lead guitarist can get into.
One of Ibanez's fastest necks to date, the 5-piece maple/walnut Premium Wizard 7 neck on the UV70P is an absolute pleasure to play. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lighting-fast runs and arpeggios with ease, but still gives you the substance you need for fretting chords when you need to. It's reinforced with KTS titanium reinforcement rods for absolutely unstoppable stability and the fret finishing is superb. From the first time you put your hands on the UV70P's Premium Wizard 7 neck, you'll know that you have a guitar that was built with a real guitar legend in mind.
The UV70P's Edge Zero II-7 bridge with Zero Point System was designed by Ibanez to give you the fast tremolo response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and flutters. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem's stud lock function is also one of the many reasons it's a favorite among many of today's top shredders. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long playing sessions without losing its tuning, you're going to love the UV70P..
