Greco Super Real MSV FV

On the bay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220458835983&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Appears to have Dry-Z p/ups. For any Flying "V" - as opposed to Flying Burrito Brothers - fans.

Dry-Z are not standard.. But.... sure makes the price alot easier to swallow....

 

[villager]

on the MS model i have seen a few with dry-z

 

[MIJvintage]

haven't seen too many Dry Z stamps but I surely haven't seen the Z stamp in front of the serial/production code number; anyone else notice that?
On the neck pup, the Z is in front of the number code ............

I only recall seeing the Z stamp at the end of the number code on previous examples

 

[CliffsGuitarWorld]

Mark.........An Ms Model with DRY-Z's..... guess that shows anything is a possibility with Greco....

Also, I just noticed something else on the base of the pickups; there looks to be no solder where a cover would have been soldered on.
Looks like these never had covers on them.
Anyone else see this?

Does the Greco MS V show as having covers in the catalog?
I know catalogs aren't the end all & be all but just wondering what the photo shows .........................

I'm thinking these are very likely original to the guitar; anyone else have an opinion?

 

[MIJvintage]

just found this ...............

1981 MSV with uncovered pups in the catalog photo = PU2 pickups

I still think the pups in the eBay listing are most likely original to the guitar ...............

Sold for $804 - anybody here?

Interesting to know they came in double blacks and now zebras, based on Rich's recent post. Anyone ever seen double whites?

I sense a Dry Z intervention in the near future...

Congrats Rich

 

[CliffsGuitarWorld]

Yes... Congrats... Rich........For a very long time you have wondered what all the talk was about these PUP's....... WE have signed you up for DRY-Z rehab.....Ryan, Mark, Dennis and I will take you there !!!

 

[MIJvintage]

thanks guys but no intervention needed :lol: ............

plan is to utilize the Dry pups from the MSV in my 1982 Mint Collection gold top which is a very special piece of lumber

it sounds really nice with the original Screamin' 82 pups; best I have heard but with a set of Dry Z pups installed I can only imagine it could be the gold top at the top of the heap

 

[MIJvintage]

you know, I was thinking I hope I don't like this MSV850, 'cause I bought it for the Dry Z pups for another guitar

if I play the thing and I end up liking it, I could be in big trouble; then I might have to put these in it :lol:
