    chaki acoustic - wood used?

    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...

    86 EGC model?

    Is it possible to know the exact model of this 86 EGC just by these pics? I'm thinking if it's wise to trade my 78 EG700 for this. I like my sunburst more than a black custom but I'm after the tone. Sorry can't figure out why I can't make the images appear on my post (img didn't work). Thanks...

    need info on a 1990 greco

    Post says it's a 1980 Greco custom all stock but comments here indicate it could be a 1990 model. Would this be better than my EG700 solid body? Idea on current price range? Can we get more info based on these pics? I'm still waiting for the other pics (pups, pots, cavities). Thanks!

    are pup covers interchangeable?

    I recently got an EG700 w/ U2000 pups. I got an offer for screamin pups taken from a mint collection series but they don't have covers. Can I remove the cover from the U2000 and transfer it to the screamin pups? Will there be a noticeable sound difference if I replace my pups? TIA

    EG700 fretboard turned dark w/ lemon oil

    I cleaned my fretboard w/ alcohol then applied lemon oil but it turned very dark. Is this normal? My newer guitars have rosewood too but they didn't turn dark.
