GRECO

12 STRING

(Greconbacker)

​

1994

MADE IN

JAPAN

One very cool GRECO 12 STRING from 1994. Of course it's a direct copy of the original Rickenbacker but at a fraction of the price. These Greco's which are made in Japan to exacting standards are a dream to play. This model has the same 'sound' as the Ric's but you'll save big dollars with this option. It features aa fully bound neck and body, and beautiful dark rosewood  fretboard, shark tooth style inlays, a slim neck profile which is so easy to play considering it's a 12 string. 2 great pickups, 2 x tone and 2 x volume and a 3 way switch. Overall in EXC++ condition and it also come's with an original Rickenbacker case. COOL.!

A great playing guitar and getting quite sort after as there are so little of these models around and for sale.

GRECO

 NATURAL

MADE IN  JAPAN

BY

 MATSUMOKU 

CIRCA

1972 TO 74

The Japanese have always made great copies of both Fender and Gibson guitars. This Greco of course is no exception, same style lightweight body, 'F' hole, mother of pearl style pick guard, 2 x Maxon humbucker pickups which do give a great vintage sound. The neck and fretboard are maple and also, tuners are original greco, fret's are original and show little wear. A great player considering a Fender from this era fetches around 5K plus, so at this price you cant go wrong. The case is the hard plastic (grp) style so it protects the guitar well during transport.  This is one great looking guitar from around 1974, you won't be disappointed at all. Recommended if you dont have the 5Kplus budget for the Fender. EXC+ condition.

FERNANDES

ST-57

 2 TONE SUNBURST

CIRCA EARLY 90'S

MIJ

A COOL VINTAGE FERNANDES FROM CIRCA 80'S.

This ST-57 model based on the famous Fender Stratocaster is the way the Japanese were making guitars back in the 70's and 80's. They literally bought the originals and pulled them apart and made these super clones, to a degree that is. This one is pretty cool as well, features the 8 screw single ply pick guard, maple fretboard, button style tuners and a 2 tone sunburst finish. It plays really well and sounds a lot better  than what you would think. I would compare it to a  80's Japanese Fender as it sounds pretty good. Although not expensive this guitar will outperform any chinese guitar by miles and at only $725 it's a real bargain. Currently does not have a case but I'll see if I can find a secondhand hard case for it, if not a new hard case is $109 aud. Overall in exc condition

ORIGINAL 1981

'MICHAEL SCHENKER'

​

SIGNATURE GUITAR

BY ARIA PRO XX MS

​

Every now and then we come across something special, this ORIGINAL 'MICHAEL SCHENKER' SIGNATURE guitar from ARIA PRO XX MS is one of these, very hard to find nowadays. Michael now has a deal with dean guitars but in 1981 this was (is) the original one. It features a rosewood fretboard, pointy headstock with aria tuners, dot inlays, 1 x standard Aria humbucker and 1 x 'Bill Lawrence' much desired L90 pickup from the early 80's installed in the bridge position. Although not original to this guitar it's still a desirable pickup indeed which does nothing to distract from the coolness of this guitar. The body has now gone to that creme shade as so often seen with white guitars from the era, and the pick guard is in the opposite colouring to give it that black/white look. Overall a great sounding guitar and one that when you bring it to a UFO 'Schenker' meeting you will certainly stand out. Comes with a new hard case and it's original ARIA soft case. vgc+++

GRECO

ROCK SPIRIT

BASS

​

BLACK

A cool GRECO BASS from Japan, come with two hum- bucking pickups, 3 way switch, 2 x tone and 2 x volume selectors, is the 'les Paul' style shape, the black top is fully bound and is quite nice, it's a 3/4 bass so would suit someone who either likes a smaller bass or someone who likes a lighter bass. In no way does it make this bass less of an instrument, it plays really well and has some deep growly sounds or a brighter sound depending on which position you choose. The fretboard is rosewood and has mother of pearl with Paul shell style inlays which look great as well. Tuners are of a nice size so easy to tune, very little player wear. Overall a great sounding first or second bass, why by a chinese crappy bass when you can have something of this quality. comes with a new hard case. VGC+++

'TWO'

by

EDWARDS

Japan

2005

A very cool JIMMY PAGE number 2 (two) guitar by EDWARDS of Japan. These were specifically designed and made for the Japanese market exclusively but alas we have one..!

Firstly as can be seen in the headstock pics it has 'Gibson' and Les Paul style logo's these were added by a previous owner as was the custom shop logo on the back of the neck. These guitars sell for many times more so please dont be confused., This is an EDWARDS..!

So how cool are the flames on this guitar as well as the colour, it certainly has that late 50's vibe of the Gibson Les Pauls of the era. This one is the JIMMY PAGE number 2 so it has the same features such as push pull volume and tone knobs which do all sorts of wonderful things making that Jimmy tone possible super circuit, Long tenon neck going, neck has the satin feel, and beautifully relied to a very high standard, overall in exc++ condition, also comes with a hard case (tight fit).

IN FLIGHT CASE

Rarely seen in Oz

are these Roland synth guitars from the 80's. This particular one's home was originally in Canada before being shipped to Oz many years ago. This one is the all 'black' synth guitar with 2 x humbucker pickups, 3 way selector with a master volume and tone selector. The other controls are all for the synth. When plugged in with the synth controller is really what this guitar is about and for those interested there are many demo's on youtube including a funny one by our friends at Chicago music exchange...a bunch of great guys. So check out all the demo's and you'll get a very good understanding of what this guitar is all about. The controller comes in a aluminium not 'aluminum' lol flight case and includes the 2 handbooks as well as a couple of pages demo'ing certain sound setting available, it also had 2 x memory blocks included as well as all necessary cables, it is 110 volt's but if your in Oz it will come with the 240v convertor...The guitar comes with it's very desirable 'hot pink' lined case

overall a very cool find for Australia and available now exc+ condition

VINTAGE

​

CHERRY

EARLY 70'S

These Japanese Vintage GRECO guitars were made early 70's and were Japans's answer to the Gibson era guitars and being American were so expensive in the early 70's in Japan   As a result they copied all famous guitars such as Gibson, Fender, Gretsch and Rickenbacker...so how are these guitars you ask..?

The best way to say this is that they attain maybe 80% and some as much maybe as 95% of the sound quality of the early USA guitars and as such have gained a huge following over the years for those looking for 'vintage' sound quality but at a much reduced price. This SG example is like the SG Deluxe, has the full pick guard, bound rosewood fretboard, block inlays and double ring tuners like the klussons of the era. Finished in the cherry red this particular one has a few dings and scratches as can be seen in the photo's which dont effect the way it plays....I can truly say that I have always enjoyed playing a vintage Greco more so than playing a Chinese or Indonesian "guitar" The sound quality is there as would be expected, if your budget only allows you a certain amount of dollars your gonna enjoy this guitar. vgc, soft case at present but hard case available for $109
