Greetings one and all!
I've been reading through these forums for quite a while now and finally decided to register. I've been seduced by Japanese replicas since a certain article appeared in British "Guitar" magazine in December 2006! A fellow called Mark Fletcher extolled the virtues of Japanese replicas and I fell right into his trap!! Before I could stop myself I'd bought a Yamaha "Lord Player" and succumbed to a dose of GAS that seems to be getting worse the more I buy!!
I've just managed to procure an EGF-850 from Japan and I'm not sure that even that will cure me! I have a definite predeliction for Grecos though, as I feel they are the most well constructed and accurate of all the replicas. So far I have 4 Super Real guitars and I love their sound, playability and build quality.
As soon as I can I'll post some pics....
They are
EGF-850 Super Real 1980 model
EG-500 Super Real "transition model" 1982
RS-90 "Super Real Project" 1988
SA-64-70 "Super Real Project" 1987
also I have
Fernandes RB-70 Rickenbacker 325 copy 198?
'62 Reissue MIJ Stratocaster 1991
Telecaster 1983 USA
Rickenbacker 1997 thinline
'57 Reissue Stratocaster MIM
Glad to be here amongst people who share this disease!
