Need help picking a Greco. 850 or 1000

[villager]

if there is any veneer problem mentioned avoid it another will come along with no problems....

I would probably go for the EGF cos I like fatter necks, having said that some LS-80's I have had have been pretty fat .. there is no standard size for the early tokai necks but generally LS-80 plaintop 58 = fatter , LS 100 plaintop = fattter LS-120 59 medium fat, ls-150/200 anything possible.. seen all sizes..

OK... so I have some things to think about. No rush I suppose.

Just one other thing.... what's the deal with Greco painting the inside of the pup cavities?

 

[leadguitar_323]

Its shielding paint.

HOLY CRAP BATMAN ......... that is only the 3rd one I have ever seen.
That looks like the same top color finish as the one I previously owned.

If I would have seen that on YJ, I would have had no qualms about going higher than what the bidding ended at.

Someone got a very nice/rare bird, and for a nice price; good on them 8)

thanks a lot for the link; nice to see these around


EDIT: I just saw the weght listed as 4.6 kg which is over 10 lb. :-?
I actually would have passed :lol: but I'm glad you had the link anyways :wink:
Still nice to see these; they are soooooo frikkin' rare, IMO ..........
Cheers .....

Haha I know man...good god if I had found tenants for this month and didn't have to pay 3 mortgage payments in January I would have bought that, an early 80's Fernandes Rickenbacker bass, and a early 80's Greco Gretsch 6120 copy. Man I wanted the Gretsch copy SO BAD...argh I should have sold my Greco RS90 Super Real to get that...**** it.

I saw that one about a week ago; didn't like the way the DRY 1982 stickers were positioned on the bases & one didn't really look like it was under the wax ..........

Nice looking one; hope you like her D
