  1. New guitar week!

    New to me anyway, this is a 1975 Greco SE-600N, made in the Fujigen factory’s equivalent of a custom shop. This is of course their copy of a Stratocaster, and almost as old as me.

    It has an ash body and rosewood fretboard, and is a pretty heft piece of work. That probably accounts for the lovely resonance and it also has those fizzy, sparkling Maxon pickups. It’ll get a string change tomorrow to my usual flatwounds, and a light setup. Not much needing done to it at all.

    Turns out I’m a sucker for well-made Japanese vintage guitars…

  2. Do you know what kind of lever goes on this vibrato tailpiece from a Japanese lawsuit SG from around 1970?
    Can you show me a picture of one?
    Bonus would be where I could get one. And a proper bridge. And a bridge pickup.

  3. Still kinda sad I found an interesting Ibanez 2030 short scale #bass locally for cheap but the person never replied to my message (even sent shortly after posting) and then yanked listing.

    It kind of matched all my requirements - short scale since I want to see if that helps with my back and hands, it's definitely something different than the normal and it was quite cheap. I have a number of other oddball basses so it would have been right at home with some early 80s #matsumoku basses and a late 90s #ibanez #sr800

    Ah well, I guess I'll just have to be patient and see what else floats around the local markets. Sometimes interesting things do show up.
