The 1970s saw the rise of Ibanez as a brand through players such as Paul Stanley of KISS with the wild-bodied Iceman, and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead with his ornate Professional Model 2680. Keeping at the cutting edge of Hard Rock and Metal music, Ibanez developed guitars such as the RG and S (Saber) guitars which guitarists who needed their guitars to have flat radius fretboards, big frets, and divebomb tremolo systems.

These models have been embraced by players such as Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Tosin Abasi, Munky of Korn, and Nita Strauss – many of which have their own Ibanez signature models. Perhaps one of the most popular models Ibanez ever developed was the JEM: the Steve Vai signature instrument, complete with its tree of life fretboard inlays, and signature ‘monkey grip’ body cutout. The guitar remains a coveted instrument to this day! Similar to the JEM is the Ibanez Universe, which was the first mass-produced 7-string electric guitar which was developed with Vai and Ibanez, and quickly embraced in the 1990s by bands who needed something different to provide their heavier tones. Not only useful for Hard Rock and Metal, Ibanez also specializes in guitars for Jazz and Blues with their semi-hollow and hollowbody instruments.

The affordable and excellent looking Artcore Series gives players of all levels unique finish options as well as body configurations. The first Universes, the UV7 and UV77 appeared on the market in 1990, though Vai had played prototypes in live performances before that.Ibanez also offers signature hollowbodies for players such as George Benson and Pat Metheny. The UV7 was available in white ( UV7PWH) or black with green appointments ( UV7BK). The UV77 was available in a swirled multicolor finish (UV77MC) and is now considered a collector's item. The production UV77MCs were swirled first in Japan. Steve Vai had agreed to only allow the guitars to be produced if they were swirled at the same place his prototypes were: About Time Designs. After a brief period, the UV77MC Japanese Swirls were aborted in favor of the ATD-Swirled ones. The ATD swirled models were done at the ATD factory by Darren Johansen on Long Island N.Y. In 1991, Ibanez also introduced the UV777. The guitar had just been recently restrung and tested by a luthier in Tampa, Florida, and sounds/feels great to play.
The most expensive Universe at the time, it wasĪvailable in green with a black (white pearloid on some models) pickguard and green/yellow appointments ( UV777GR). The guitar is in great shape, but does have a couple of marks due to being 30 years old, but nothing significant. It also featured a maple fingerboard as opposed to rosewood.
No Universes were produced in 1995 due to low demand. But the UV7BK returned in 1996 largely due to usage from bands in a variety of musical genres: Korn, an alternative metal band, Dream Theater, a progressive metal band, Fear Factory, an industrial metal band, as well as progressive metal bands Meshuggah and Voivod, and also death metal bands Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel. In 1997 Ibanez introduced the 'all black' -version of Universe-series named as UV7SBK. Which - instead of the green details used in UV7BK - had silver dots on the rosewood fret board and silver Ibanez logo in the headstock. The pickups, knobs and pickup toggle were black as well.
The UV7SBK was in production only in 1997 and the manufacturing quantities are unknown.
