Wizard 7 Neck Sets a New Standard for Playability

The Ibanez Wizard 7 neck represents the pinnacle of 7-string playability. Its 5-piece maple and walnut construction with titanium reinforcement rods provides unparalleled stability and a thin, flat profile that facilitates speedy solos and complex chording. A 25.5" scale length and 48mm nut width give each of the seven strings ample room to vibrate, enabling a tight, precise attack with booming lows and shimmering highs. Combined with a recessed Edge Zero II-7 tremolo, the Wizard 7 neck unleashes the Universe 7's full potential for radical pitch manipulation and sonic experimentation across its 24 jumbo frets.

DiMarzio Blaze Pickups Achieve the Perfect EQ

Designed in collaboration with Steve Vai, the DiMarzio Blaze pickup set provides the Ibanez Universe 7 with a mix of punchy lows, pronounced mids and searing highs that needs no further EQing. Blaze humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions produce a hot, articulated tone that handles chunky rhythms and wailing leads with equal ease. A custom Blaze single coil in the middle position adds a screaming, Strat-like tone to the mix. Combined with a 5-way pickup selector and Split-5 wiring, the DiMarzio Blaze pickups give the Universe 7 access to a remarkably broad tonal palette.

Premium Components for Premium Performance

From top to bottom, the Ibanez Premium Steve Vai Universe 7-string electric guitar is equipped with only the finest components to deliver premium performance. An American basswood body provides a lightweight but full-bodied platform for the Universe 7's resonant acoustic tone. Cosmo black hardware, including Gotoh tuners and an Edge Zero II-7 tremolo bridge, offer rock-solid tuning stability and radical pitch control.
