Sorry for the delay, kinda hard to find the time nowadays... Here are the pictures (sorry, short wires make it difficult to take good pictures!) The rear cavity: The only visible pot: Neck pup cavity: Bridge pup cavity: Bridge pup back: So, it was obviously made on order and, from the...

The guitar arrived the other day, it's beautiful and plays and sounds great! 8) Here are a couple of detail-shots that can maybe help to identify it: ... Maybe that final "...79T" means it's from 1979? :-?

Thank you, mdvineng! In the meantime I pulled the trigger, should arrive on Monday... 8) ... But please if you all got more infos keep 'em coming, I'm really curious! ;-) :thumbsup:

Hi everyone, I need a little help identifying a Greco Mockingbird that I may acquire via trade... I've searched in all the Greco catalogues I'm able to find online, from the mid-70s to the early-90s ones, but no luck. While it's a kind of rare model, I've found some pretty similar guitars...

Sorry for the delay, didn't notice your answer :oops: It's a bolt on... I did a little more research and it looks like it's a Teisco/Kawai from the late '60s/early '70s. I've found a couple of Reverb sales of the same model...

The seller says it's a "'70s made in Japan" guitar... https://imgur.com/a/ZZrbj Thank you!

Just decided to put this beauty on sale to fund new acquisitions (will be visiting Tokyo in a couple of weeks 8) ). It's a 1980 Washburn Falcon, the neck through made by Yamaki version. Good conditions, especially for its age, has some scratches and dings here and there but no cracks/nothing...

SOLD

Price drop: ?390 = ?285 !

Sorry, didn't make the trade in the end, so I can't give you any more infos... Thanks for the interesting discussion though! :wink:

I completely agree! :wink:

Hi all, I've got this beautiful 1980 MIJ Ibanez Artist AR-50 for sale, it's got a bit of scratches and dents on the back of the body, hence the low price. Exterior imperfections apart it's functionally and structurally perfect, the frets are almost mint (I would think it has been refretted, but...

Thank you guys, very much appreciated! :)

Thanks luis for the useful feedback! :) ... So, anyone knows who used to build these and/or can read Japanese here? :wink:

I've got the chance to get a pretty decent trade deal on this one... The shop sells it as a "Fernandes Les Paul Standard '57 Reissue, made in Japan 1971", but as far as I know these ones were only made in 1978 (here it is as FLG-70GT in the 1978 Fernandes catalogue...

Thanks guys, doesn't look too good to me either... The only thing that makes me think twice is the quality of the inlay material: it looks very much like real mother of pearl, which is typical of '70s-'80s MIJ copies, and never to be found on more recent MIC/MIK ones... Could be the flash...

The seller says it was made in Japan in the '70s by Matsumoku, but he was pretty vague when I asked for proof... Any help/inputs more than appreciated! :wink:

Thanks for the answer! The fact is I know that Cool Z is Shimamura's cheaper brand, but at the same time the specs look pretty similar, and the NCLS-10 is FGN's entry level model... Never mind though, I just found a cheap early '80s Aria Pro II PE-60 locally, I think I'm gonna buy that one! :wink:

Hi guys, I'm lookin' for a kinda cheap MIJ Les Paul, and I stumbled upon these two models, same colour (lemon drop), similar prices, both Fujigen made. They do look like they are actually the same guitar, just different brands, but I'm not sure about it... Any opinions?
