I kind of want it....at least the collector in me wants it.
I have two Fender JV Jazzmasters so I will not cry even though it would be cool to have a Greco JM...
Maybe a good price but I am not prepared to pay that money for a Greco JM.
I was the lucky winner. 
I love Jazzmasters, and I love vintage/rare Grecos, so this guitar is a "holy grail" for me. I own another Super Real Jazzmaster, in surf green with tortoise pickguard, and it's a really nice guitar. I'm looking forward to comparing the two!

how does it compare to vintage jazzmasters? or fender mij/cij for that matter?
I haven't had much time to A/B these guitars. But both are excellent instruments with great tone. They are definitely on par with the Jazzmasters I've owned previously - a vintage 1963, and a CIJ with AVRI pickups.
What I like most about the Super Reals is that they both have fairly chunky, soft V necks. And now that they're 30 years old, they have a terrific vintage vibe and feel. Interestingly, the surf green guitar is just under 9 pounds, and the CAR is just under 8 pounds.

Very Nice!! And I would know as I was once the owner of the Lime Green JM700 I regret selling that one but as I recall I got a very good price for it 8) . That's the only one I've ever seen in that color and it's the one featured on the cover of Japan Vintage VOL2. Super rare guitar!
I had one other JM700 that I sold to a friend. It was a 3-tone sunburst. I've not seen another one of those either.
Glad you're enjoying it. I loved the neck on that one.

Very cool - thanks for checking in. I was aware that the green JM-700 was the "cover girl" on the Greco issue of Japan Vintage. But I didn't know that they also made them in 3-tone sunburst. I've seen the JG-700 Jaguar in that color combo, though. I see Super Real Jaguars come up for sale from time to time, but the only two Jazzmasters I've even seen are the two that I own.
