These are all great guitars. The only trades I'd consider are a smallish blackface combo and/or a vintage sounding strat style w/ beefy neck.
I'm in NJ. Always prefer a local deal. All prices are for local pickup. Will ship and buyer pays actual shipping.
1980 Greco SE-600-This is a simply outstanding vintage MIJ - guaranteed. If you buy it and don't agree, send it back for a full refund of the purchase price. 100% original and finished in gorgeous vintage white. Three piece ash body that only weighs ~7.2 lbs. Just a killer guitar for the money. ONLY reason I'm looking to sell is because I much prefer a beefier neck. Would love to swap this one for a like guitar with a neck that suits my hand better. Has a couple of gentle bumps and bruises but nothing major to speak of. Ships in original MIJ gig bag that is super cool in it's own right! $575. Lots of pics here (one below): http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/evanlerner/Greco%20SE%20600%20Strat/
1987 Greco SS63-60. I got this from someone who collects MIJ guitars. His description follows: "This is a 1987 Greco SS63-60 SG that was made in Japan. This guitar was part of the Mint Collection and is stamped SS63-60 in the neck cavity. The serial number sequence for this guitar is 7 105#. Which means that it was built by Fujigen Gakki in 1987. This guitar is in great condition aside from a few dings. The finish is brilliant and it has a nice rosewood fingerboard. Has a 1 piece neck (Long neck tenon joint). Original frets are in great condition....The body is in good condition with one chip in paint near the rear side and one on top of headstock. Also small mark on top not through paint. The body is in excellent shape for being close to 24 years old. The pickups appear to be Screamin pickups but they are unmarked. Sound much more like PAFs than modern higher output humbuckers. A quick look reveals that pickups are on the original soldering. The pots are all original and matching. Orange caps. Nickel plated hardware. Original Greco tuners....Etc" Neck feels to me like a '59 carve. More on the beefy side than the thin side. Comes with brand new hard shell fitted SG case. $625. Many pics here (one below): http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/evanlerner/Greco%20SG/
MIJ Burny FB90 Firebird. Again from the previous owner/collector: "This is a 1980's Burny FB 90 FireBird V that was made in Japan. This guitar is in great condition. It is a very nice Vintage Sunburst and has a very pretty fretboard with about 95 % fret life remaining. This guitar was made during a period where they were selling them for Greco and Orville also I believe....Possibly a bit earlier. This Firebird has a 2 piece center seam body with a long neck tenon joint. Most all Orville and Greco Firebirds that I have seen from the era are 3 piece bodies rather than 2. This guitar also has a 1 piece neck with the tenon set in nice and long(Also stamped in the neck cavity).... Basically all the way through the neck cavity. It also has the maple trussrod plug that I have yet to see on a Firebird from this era. The headstock has a few dings here and there. Nothing more to note. The tuners are banjo style tuners other than on the low E string which has a replacement tuner (there are no extra screw holes). The mini humbuckers are unreal and are the hardest thing for me to part with. They appear to be on their original solderings and have braided wiring for both pickups. All of the hardware is naturally aged nickel plated. This is a great deal for a rare 20+ year old Burny that has hardly been played."
Neck is FANTASTIC and definitely beefy. Pickups not as thick as standard humbuckers but thicker than most single coils. Kind of hard to describe. Perhaps similar to a cleaner P90? This comes with a brand new Epi Firebird case. This guitar will hold its own compared w/ a vintage Gibson and then some. $850. Many pics here (one below): http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/evanlerner/Burny%20FB-90/
