Been thinking of getting a seven string guitar, but I'm not so much of a chugger as I am a lead player. So I have been looking at some Steve Vai signature Universes. I have considered not risking a used condition and getting the UV70P new (even though it doesn't have the pretty pyramid inlays) and checked one out at a shop earlier today. It felt good, albeit dirty because it wasn't cleaned since they received it, and it was slightly out of tune. However, I have seen people online saying that when it comes to the Universes, the UV70Ps are not worth it due to the panga panga fretboard instead of rosewood, the Edge Zero II being used instead of a Lo Pro Edge, Indonesia make instead of Japan, etc. Any opinions on this? And is Ibanez still using panga panga or did they eventually go back to rosewood?

i'd consider panga panga more "premium" than rosewood honestly

#

the edge zero ii is less durable than the lo pro but still pretty solid

"Premium" as in better or "premium" as in cheaper than rosewood?
