The Ibanez UV77SVR Steve Vai Signature Passion and Warfare will ignite your inspiration, having been expertly crafted in Japan for the ultimate build quality. Only 77 of these unique and higly collectable guitars were made worldwide. Due to the complex process of how the finish was applied on each UV77SVR every guitar is different and completely unique. This is a fabulous example with a very diverse and deeply varied swirl pattern.
Utilising expert craftmanship, this mystical guitar is loaded with features of the highest quality, and was built to facilitate a magical playing experience.

The Legacy of a Legend
He's more than a musician. Steve Vai is both a guitar virtuoso and an artist, having made some of the most impressive and celebrated music ever. He has also contributed towards guitar design, with the signature UV77SVR representing his innovative and creative mind. Vai's quality and expertise combined with Ibanez's incredibly high standards of guitar manufacturing have yielded this beautiful limited edition model, which is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Passion and Warfare, one of his most iconic albums.
A Blaze of Glory
Titanic tone. DiMarzio Blazes offer incredibly high quality, crisp tones, with slightly scooped mids and boosted bass creating a finely balanced, dynamic sound and sonic range. The bridge position imbues chords with a full, fat quality, and will make them ring out powerfully. Clarity, punch, and definition will spring forth from each note you play, and give it a warmth and character which will go straight through to your heart.
The middle single coil gives you even more sonic variation, bringing a crisp, clear, warm sound which will sing with twangy brilliance. Switch to the neck humbucker and a world of lead possibilities opens up. Whether you're planning to shred like Steve or play some beautiful feel-based licks, this DiMarzio Blaze will sound astounding. It has a slightly reduced bass response to bring out more bright mids and treble, so you'll make each note shine with saturation and sustain. Equipped with these specialist pickups, you can let your creativity soar and your music sing with emotion.
Maple for Masters
Unlock a universe of notes. Maple is a wonderous wood, which possesses immense quality when it comes to playability and resonance. The maple neck on this musical innovation has been crafted to accommodate the fastest playing imaginable. If you have an artistic vision, this guitar will give you every tool you need to achieve it, as you'll find switching between notes feels unbelievably natural and swift. Your sustain will endure, and the maple creates a bright resonance for you to play with. Make no mistake, this is a guitar which facilitates excitement and flair in music making.
Ravishing Rosewood
Resounding resonance. Rosewood is a luxurious material which gives this guitar's fretboard its premium feel and smoothness. It has a beautiful, ringing resonance which brings out the fullness of each note you play, and its unrivalled smoothness will have your fingers freely gliding along each fret. It is the perfect addition to this guitar, and works in unison with all the other components to bring you the best playing experience possible.
A Hero's Hardware
