I get a malware warning when accessing this site? Is grecoed aware of this? thanks!

not sure if it triggered the surge but i posted your link at the greco users thread at talk.philmusic.com and since then your catalogs have been useful for both its buyers and sellers. We have regular supplies of japanese guitars from bands working in japan ang japanese surplus stores although...

thanks for the info :-)

I just got a probably 70s Chaki acoustic model W-70. From google I found out that Chaki has been making guitars since 1947 but seems to be known only in Japan. It appears to be all solid wood 'coz the grains are the same both inside and outside. I was hoping someone could help identify the wood...

Installed martin strings light and got plenty of harmonics--love it so much I spent my time just strumming open Gs and C9s. Had the bridge sanded a bit by a luthier to lower the action then had the nut and saddle replaced w/ bone. Had the strings replaced w/ thicker addarios and I lost some...

Anyone here who can read japanese text? I'm interested in knowing the specs of the morris f-18 as can be seen from these catalogs. Specifically if they are solid tops :) http://www.t-shiga.com/sub7-5-1-67.htm http://www.t-shiga.com/sub7-5-1-20.htm thanks

thanks for the replies, hope i get that fb :)

used photogenic guitars in the philippines come from japan although some suggest they are made somewhere else

Great scans grecoed!

luckily mine is not pancaked :)

yups I don't intend to sell them even if I have the 57 RIs on my greco now :)

Thanks japanstrat and muccax. I already searched the archive and the only posts I found with 5xxxxx serials are from egc500s which led me to that conclusion that the quitar in question is also an egc500. The pickups thread also didn't identify the pickup model for 5xxxxx. I decided not to buy...

Thanks Cali Girl :) After replacing the strings it sounds much better now, like the strings are ringing inside a chamber with each strum. And it looks really good on my avatar haha. I just have to bring it to a luthier 'coz it has high action and to fix the hum.

Nopes it's just an eg500 with an unknown pickup model :)

I got the tokai! I love the looks, everything from the design and wood to the inlays. Strange but it says TEA60D though it is not deep body and only has 2 knobs. Probably a wrong stamp. It also has 5 as the first digit so I assume it's an 85. It is not as loud as my old jumbo but the sound is...

Yes it looks nice but I don't know if US$260 is a good price :D I'm not sure if there' a label but he mentioned there is a serial number and that a check w/ the registry showed it's 1980. I doubt it though 'coz I only found it in the 1984/85 catalog. He didn't leave his number and it takes a...

Hey that's a very helpful observation I didn't notice that :) I'm now sure that it is a TEA-60 'coz it doesn't have a binding on the neck and headstock. If I'm correct that there are 2 knobs on the pic below then it is a shallow body, otherwise it is a deep body (preferred). [edit: pics moved...
