hey Paf Man, dry z pickups have a "Z" stamped onto the base of the pickup and the dry 1982 pickups have a sticker on the base saying "dry 1982". If you are thinking that the black greco you posted would have dry z pups it won't they are only in high end pre 1982 models, the black greco is a low end bolt on neck model and not worth much.I would spend a little more and get a way better model, there are still bargains out there.
thanks, bro. I'm learning fast on this site and had begun to figure that out. Thanks for the input. I'm not a snob -- I just like having nice guitars that don't have inflated prices -- i play G&Ls rather than Fenders. What's the best bag for the buck in the Greco LP used market these days?
Well it depends on what you want to spend, for eg, i recently bought a RR 65 model custom with dry 1982 pups and i paid $480.00 aus for it. it is a cream LP custom style guitar and for the money its awesome, it is a mint collection guitar.These model guitars are always for sale in japan and prices are steadily going up. Keep doing your research {there is plenty of info on this site just do a search}and that should help you make an informed decision,don't be afraid to ask questions as there are a few shonky dealers that will sell you rubbish.
Mick, that sounds like an awesome price!
Do you buy locally in Australia? If so where are the best places to find such instruments? I'm only really familiar with Tym's in Brisbane.
Newbie from Brissie. Live in Thornlands 4164. Just posted 'help me please' in 'classifieds'. After a lawsuit era MIJ LP. No real fuss on Greco, Burny or Tokai. Hear a lot of good things about Dry Z and Dry 82.
What sort of Oz$$$ for good quality pre 1982 LP with great PUPs. Is there anywhere I can have a look at in Brissie.
Hi Dee, welcome to the tokai forum.yes you can have a look at Tyms guitars at stones corner you can check his stock on his website
www.tymguitars.com.au, e-bay is another and checkout japanese guitar shops, this can be a frustrating process but thats how you find them.
There are a few guys on this site that will sell you a good guitar you just need to find out what type and model you are chasing and i'm sure someone will help. Cheers Mick
Thanks for the tip. Will have a go at www.tymguitars.com.au. Yep tried eBay but came across few that looks sus. Definitely will try Tokai Registry as well. A lot of members appears to be from Europe & UK. I guess I can foot the postage if I'm real keen.
the ONLY greco's with dry Z are the SuperReal EGF-1200, 1800 and 2500, and you will never see a 1800 or a 2500 for sale, and the SA-1200 ES335 model, also Super Real.
