Jay,

You know you're killing me with the black greco. You know that if I hadn't just bought the same model (albeit much worse condition), I'd be all over it. Even so, I'm sure it will haunt me until some lucky soul gets it.

Hey, I was able to resist for almost a whole day! I've been gassing for that one since the day you got it.

Nice Standard! What year is it? What are the stock pups that it would come with? Why am I asking these questions? My wife will kick my ass if she knows I'm thinking about this one, :lol:

2006. Duncan 59's are stock pup'rs. its very clean, pampered.

LOVE the 59s! But it being so new it must have the Vintage neck carve. Bummer for me, but you shouldn't have any trouble letting that one go for that reasonable of a price! Good luck with the sale, bro!

Love the tighter grain on that one!

Looks extremely clean compared to most of the Ibanez versions floating around.

Worth every penny and more... :lol:

Dammit, this is killing me. I've snapped up every good deal on the old Japanese stuff I've found for the last couple months...

Burny 61ri SG-560

Greco 67ri V-450

Hondo 2 LPC (setneck/all maple)-220

Burny 67ri V-540

...and here I am in the middle of negotiations for a 77 Ibanez 2630 and I see this! My credit card is screaming in frickin agony. One more impulse buy and it's done lol! Dammit, somebody buy this so I can buy it later!

In my experience, better. I preferred every single Ibanez/Greco over any Gibson '76 Reissue (reissue of the reissue made since @ 1989/90) that I've played. My personal feeling of those guitars is that they are closer to the real '76-'80 Gibson Explorers in terms of quality, playability and feel than the newer Gibson reissues. The "original reissue" Explorers are among my favorite Gibsons, and I think they're still some of the best guitars they made during the Norlin period. Not slamming the newer Gibsons, but I'd take the Ibanez/Greco over them any day.

I did play one or two over the years that could have used new tuners and one with a jack that kept cutting out, but both of those would be minor corrections, and easily done.

I have to concur. I've had several Ibanez and Greco V and Explorer shaped guitars. In fact, right now I own 2 black Greco Explorers ('78 and 82) and a 76 Greco V. All of them play and sound incredible. The 82 Explorer and the V are both beater guitars, but I kind of like that about them. The 78 Explorer is the one I got from Murkat (and was in this thread at one time). As many here know, he is a great guy to deal with keeps his guitars in great condition.

Like cmatthes, all of the japanese guitars that I have owned are of superb quality.
