Cushmic Sounds is pleased to offer on consignment from the original owner, this rather awesome, and now considered "vintage" Ibanez 7 String Steve Vai Signature Universe, finished in Gloss Black, made at the legendary Fujigen gakki factory, Japan in 1999.

Serial #F99 33716

Weighing in at 3.92kg (8.64lbs) with a 3-peice Premium American Basswood body, 2-piece bolt-on Maple neck with Universe profile, bound high-grade, dark select Rosewood fingerboard with 16.9" radius, 24 Jumbo frets, and iconic "Disappearing Pyramid" inlays crafted from green Abalone and highly reflective Mother-of-pearl.

• Nut width: 48mm (1.89")

• Scale Length: 648mm (25.5")

Equipped with American-made DiMarzio Blaze II passive pickups, specifically designed for Steve Vai's Universe 7-string series. Controls include 1 Master volume, 1 Master tone, original 500k pots, cap, wiring, and 5-way Blade switch.

Pickup switching features an "auto-split" wiring configuration, so when shifted into positions 2 or 4, the switch automatically divides the inner coils of the neck or bridge humbuckers and pairs them with the middle single-coil pickup.

Pickup outputs:

Neck: 13.36k

Postion Two: 4.13k

Middle: 13.20k

Position Four: 4.17k

Bridge: 13.51k
