Can you hear some difference between UV7 and RG7

[catacomb1984]

7stringist is there much of a difference between an RG7321 and an RG7620?

[FearlessSpinner]

A friend of mine owns a UV7 and its just the best Ibanez i have ever played...and i have played hundreds

[olegarxus]

uv is more rich sound but its twice more expensive and rg 7620 you can find in ebay 400 -600 eur now days also verry quality instrument for that price

[xxxBodomChilDxxx]

7620 better

[neoh1977]

to my ear UV sound a bit glassier than 7620. both are great guitars though.

[bossisdead]

whats the neck profile like on the 7620? is it quite thin? like a 550 lets say? can someone reply to this comment so I check back! ^^

[7stringist]

7620 has wizard-7 and UV has UV neck.  I hardly feel any difference between their shapes but the big difference is finish. 7620's neck is mat finished but UV's feeling is almost natural wood.

[memmie83]

got to love the rg7620, one of the best 7 string guitars that ibanez has made, thats why people allways look for them more, the UV its more atractive with diferent pickups and more expensive still i prefer the neck on the 7620.

[MikeyGee001]

For sure not a difference enough to justify the price.

BUT ... money also has to do with how it FEELS to you when you play it. I have sold expensive Strats to play certain MM strats since I found they FELT nicer and player very similar.

BUT ... that is why I neve buy before I TRY

[Klimpmeister]

I think the universe has a lot more quality to the sound, but I consider it to have too much carachter... If you play it, nomather the amp, you gonna hear that it is a universe, for better or for worse...

[olegarxus]

i think uv is more louder and more rich sond and in live performance its gonna be more sneaky to human ear than rg , all musitians that i knew who had rg 7620 later have changed original dimarsio to anything else .

[danzero7st]

casi no hay diferencia,yo tengo una 7620 y es geniaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!­!!!!

[semabutr]

I got UV777. Changed the bridge pick up to EMG707. Totally killer!

[tenebrae654789]

little , subtle difference . but that makes all i think .

'going to get real dimarzio blaze in green for my 7620 as soon as possible*

[7stringist]

actually, the difference of playability is far much bigger than sound and that's really important. I don't know why but uv is absolutely better in the overall quality, even though 7620 is also more than $1000 instrument.

[tenebrae654789]

hum yeah . universe is the real shit , buh hey it's horribly expensive while the 7620 is sweet and real cheap (paid 500$ for mine)

[BrianUV777BK]

IMHO, the UV sounded deeper and meaner. I am partial to UV's, tho.

[twooos]

Both sounded the same IMO!

[tenebrae654789]

believe me , these guitars don't sound the same . not the same pickups and such . UV is brighter and sounds fuller .

[69djjazzyj69]

dude r u rich? thats a lot of stuff u got there

[7stringist]

The guitars behind me? I have twelve guitars in total but not so expensive, including six 7-strings guitars and three 12-strings guitars. I think somehow weird collection...:p

[69djjazzyj69]

well i am am happy 4 u. i just wish i had som of that stuff. p.s. u should post a video showcase of all of you'r stuff. just a thought

[7stringist]

OK. I'll try if I had some time but in these showcase, I just intended to show that there is a certain difference between both guitars though they have almost same specs.

[MazaPapa]

good job! as for me - 7620 is more comfortable to play...

[7stringist]

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, UV7 has a wider-range and brighter sound than RG7.

If you have a chance, please check my another video and you can find it.

[liquidmetal2006]

did you changed the pick ups of the rg7620 for dimarzio blaze 2??? sounds identically but can sounds like that only changing the pick ups, i wanna make that, tell me if you did it?

[7stringist]

I never replaced PUs of both guitars since I bought them as brand new, factory specs.

[audokron]

Hmm its a tough call. Perhaps the mids are scooped a little more on the RG7? With the UV having a slightly brighter sound?

Either way I am led to believe that both models have the same Dimarzio Blaze pickups.

Thanks for the upload btw. The nice, consistent playing makes the call even harder to make!
