My Japanese guitar collection..

Post by Fiddy » Wed Mar 14, 2018 1:50 pm

I want to put together a small collection of what i consider cool Japanese guitars...

I got so far:

Fender Mustang Bass in California blue

Greco Rickenbacker 325/350 copy

Fernandes Mustang competition

Still looking for a Firebird with a lyre vibrola and an SG with P90s :P

If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

I fucked up when i made the purchase, i used my US ship to address. So i just asked the seller to cancel because i need it shipped here...

That being said, im having second thoughts... The upper bout looks scratched pretty badly.. Like if it was sanded with 1k grit sandpaper..

Surely you forgot to get a 25.5" scale offset - here are three Japanese beauties to refresh your memory:

i have a tulip shaped guitar that looks just like the one on the left. same switches and pickguard and same headstock. the neck is as thick as a baseball bat.

You never know with Japanese sellers until you get a tracking number...

This guy just told me today It will ship within 4 days... Seems like a long time to me. Sometimes you buy stuff and then they come back and tell you it sold elsewhere...

Some of the sellers just go buy the guitars when they sell on feeBay

But they are not able to get them every single time...

I love this picture btw... So i do hope i end up getting it... 😰

Did a first family photo of my Japanese guitars and figured I should join in:

Image

1980 Greco Super Real EG-500 Les Paul. 1980 Greco Super Real SE-700 Strat. 1967 Yamaha SG-2. The Les Paul is a recent addition. Heavy as hell but beautifully balanced and plays wonderfully well.
