LVC's NGD 2: Morales ZES-300

Post by LVC » Tue May 24, 2022 11:11 am

Two new guitars in five days :w00t: :fp:
I got the second one today. First NGD post is in the new & reissue guitar section...

Hint 1: it's a vintage one (late 60s)
Hint 2: it's a copy of an iconic model
Hint 3: it's black, which I think is the most common color for this model

Anybody want to take a guess? :ph34r:

Ric 330?
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Hmmm... good guess but no, not a Ric copy... I've never been too keen on Ric aesthetics tbh (boo hiss, I know... :D )

Not a Gibson copy either...
To clarify hint #3, black is the most common color for the guitar I got, not for the iconic model it's based on (afaik).

Matsumoku
I'm not 100% certain which factory these guitars were made in as I've read conflicting information, but they're definitely not from Matsumoku.

Hahhaha.
Well I wouldn’t want to own one either… but as the black Strat was probably the most copied guitar ever… I gave it a try! 😅

Greco Semi Acoustic?

It's not a Greco, not semi-acoustic, and not a Gretsch, sorry...

Okay, honestly, I don't hate Strats that badly... I know they can be great guitars, they have versatile and good sounding pickups, an efficient vibrato and decent ergonomics (although they're inferior to Jazzmasters on all of these points in my opinion). Still, I don't own one, am not planning to, and wouldn't be seen dead with one. :D
