STEVE VAI'S PROTO IBANEZ UNIVERSE

Satch and Vai

Steve Vai with his first "Passion and Warfare" swirled Ibanez Universe with Proto handle which was subsequently airbrushed from history on the eponimous album cover, as the production model Ibanez UV's were not going to get a handle of any kind.
Only Steve was good enough to get a handle.

My owed to the Proto UV style guitar bodies.
No.1

Above is the newer 2010 UVRE style swirls cleaner more defined swirl with more black green and pink.
Below is my take on the very early very organic circa 1987 dominate with yel/pink UVMC like Steve Original PAW in the pics above.
