Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
i wondered why you were selling that black greco!
this one is a dream guitar!
i think it would be considered a 360wb. a 330 shape with binding and shark fin inlays...
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
The frets are done on this new Greco i got. It will need a full refret and a nut. Im looking at $400 for the refret and $180 for the nut. Taxes not included. FUUUUCK!

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
Fuck that high end shop, 3 weeks later they hadn't touched the guitar, after being quoted 2 weeks, that combined with the owner being a condescending asshole contributed to me retrieving it from said shop..
Im taking it to the 12th fret in Toronto instead.

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
What are the Grecos like to play?
They seem properly built, are beautiful, but I've never had the chance to try one of them.
I own MIJ Fender Startocaster (c. 2001) and love it to death.
I've heard that it might become duty-free to import guitars to the EU from Japan. That would be a game changer, as I like Japanese spec guitars a lot - for example the Musicman Stingray EX - built in Japan from US parts.

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
I know you said the 360 Greco needs a refret, but are the frets gouged? This pic looks like the strings are pulled apart and that a gouge runs across 6-7 frets like the guitar was dropped fretboard down and the G string put a notch down the length of the neck, or is it just a reflection?tribi9 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 4:29 pmFuck that high end shop, 3 weeks later they hadn't touched the guitar, after being quoted 2 weeks, that combined with the owner being a condescending asshole contributed to me retrieving it from said shop..

I had a Rickenbacker tip over once and the B string put a notch in two frets where it hit and I had to replace them as they were too deep to file out.

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
Not sure, dont think so.. Lots of wear all over... but i got a refret done at the 12th Fret in Toronto and they did a fantastic job. Im very happy with how it turned out.

Re: My Japanese guitar collection..
Hey Tribi9, I am glad to hear that 12th fret treated you well. I have bought a few guitars and amps from them in the past and always liked the guys there. I have a few old Magnatone guitars that I need some help with ( one I bought from them) but I have been hesitant to bring anywhere because I don't know any "good" guitar techs in Toronto. Would you recommend them?
