    NGD - '82 Greco ECG57-60

    Happened to snag one on Reverb after longing for one for months. And interestingly enough, this one has quite the story to tell - it started its Reverb journey in (a music store in) Hawaii, got sold to someone in NC and ended up in AL. People kept listing it on Reverb, someone eventually bought...

    Greco SA-90 or Tokai ES100R

    Both have recently popped up on my local Craigslist. The main difference is a headstock break on the Tokai so I’m not quite sure if it'd be worth it or if I should rather go for the Greco. This is the Tokai

    NGD - 1982 Aria Pro II Cardinal Series CS-400

    This is a 1982 Aria Pro II Cardinal CS-400, the top of the line of the Cardinal series. I found it on sale for 400€ (about 450$ I guess) with a hard case and with a bunch of improvements/mods. I couldn't resist and I bought it, also because another Aria Pro II (a Viper VP-65) was my first guitar...

    Pros and Cons of 1970s MIJ vs Epiphone Les Pauls

    Budget $300: I have the opportunity to purchase a "No Name," lawsuit era (open book headstock),1976 MIJ blonde Les Paul copy with a maple fretboard in very good condition that is within my budget. It is a "pancake" and, from what I can gather, was made to sell either as an Ibanez or Greco but...

    Help identify this Eagle

    The brand name says Eagle, but the logo looks nothing like the other Eagle guitars that I’ve been able to find in my searches. I’ve read that the Eagle brand guitars were built in Japan and marketed and sold in France. Any more information would be greatly appreciated!
