the December 1981 Greco flying V with Dry Z pickups has arrived
http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=14122
Catalog shows this model as having uncovered PU-2 pickups
http://psyco.jp/greco/file/a8110b.html
The bases have no indication of ever having covers
My previous theory for the waxy substance on the bases is BS, as I stated I thought it was to seal the covers :roll:
These have the waxy crap but of course, these don't have covers :lol: ...........
From all indications the Dry Z pickups do in fact look to be original to the guitar.
The solder looks to to undisturbed & original.
Also, the patina on the 13 pick guard screws, the four mounting ring screws & the two height adjustment screws on each pickup, and the pole tops on the pickups all have oxidation that matches; it's all rusted to Hell :lol:
See photo below ...............
Thanks go out to Toshi (same seller that just sold the gold top Bacchus BLS-120 :wink: ) for this extra rare bird 8)
