I have a Faber bridge and tailpiece set for my '83 Mint Collection LP Custom. I have the metric set on it and was a drop in replacement.

I believe the one on the link you provided will also be a drop-in fit. It's just the locking version of the one I have on my Greco.

A high-end model super real should stay stock, IMO. However, you can change the hardware as long as you keep the original parts and make no new holes to retain its commercial value.

thank you rchino, hetfield and royc =) follow up question lang po, di na ba kelangan yung esert na studs?

Hello po sa inyo, hihingi po sana ako ng advice. May greco SG po kasi ako na luma, may written made in Japan sa cover sa bolt on, yung tito ko dati nirepaint nya to black, napatungan yung serial, mgayon plano ko sanang iparestore kay micsis, pero magdadalawang isip ako malaki laking gastos din kasi. Since yung pagkapintura eh tito ko lang ang gumawa so pangit yung paint kaya plano kong ipascrap tapos palitan ng natural finish.

Ang tanong ko po tingin nyo po ba sulit ang magagastos ko (repaint pa lang 5k na) ?

Kaylangan na din palitan tuners.
Yung electronics stock pa po.
Bridge pickup generic lang, neck pickup stock(may ukit ng "greco" sa cover, gagana pa kaya to?)

Or sa ibang bagay ko na lang ipang gastos yung budget?

Eto po actual picture nya. Sana may makasagot po. Salamat!

Naku sir baka di worth it.
The fact na bolt on yan means na low end yan or early models kung kelan hinde pa magaling magcopy ang greco. I suggest pagawa or repair mo na lang yan dun sa medyo mura sumingil. Para lang marestore.

Aww ganun ba sir, mukang di ko na nga itutuloy estimate ko kasi mga 10k aabutin, pambili ko na lang ng iba. Salamat ng marami sa info sir

Cool! Super Real! 

[nickson]

Hot damn! What a clean specimen! How does she sound bro? 

[Filippo]

yeah bro insanely clean and insanely pretty with original unbroken solders! Not like the '54 but not so shabby either

If I could afford PAFs and a vintage harness I'd drop em in there but I can't get myself to tamper with the unbroken solders

Naku. Kung virgin, wag na pilitin saksakan. Hehe... rarity na din kasi ang Super Reals. Na-excite ako dati meron ako nakita Greco na mukhang Super Real.. Nagreready na ako ng pera, yun pala Super Power lols.

Ganda nyan bro. What a great snag. Inggit ako. 

[Filippo]

I've always wante to have one of these!

Right time right place lang siguro!

When I sold the 54 I knew I would still need a les paul in the house, kahit pang eye candy lang kase mahal ko talaga ang LP... Sinuwerte ako dito

Pero malamang bebenta ko lang rin to sa future for a historic

[royc]

Wow!!! Nice burst!! Would you know the exact model?

[Filippo]

no I don't cos there's no sticker in the back. the inly thing I'm sure of is Mop inlays. it's from 81 ans it says super real on the headstock ... nice dark rosewood board and subtle flame... still a very deep burst to it... the guitar is almost mint..

I have yet to open the cavity to see the pups... hoping for dry Zs

Plasticwise, he knobs need to go! may spare naman akong VC knobs here and a OTPG poker chip dito

Here's my Greco LP Std. an '84 Mint Collection if i'm not mistaken.



overall i find it okay. Bass is too deep, i prefer the EQ of a vintage style LP.  i can live with it. clean is okay. a little dirt to heavy driven sound is good.  of course its no boutique guitar.

forgive my playing. i was just doing some random things when i decided to whip out my iphone 4 and record on video.

Less than 15k ang bolt-on na greco

TRC is not mint collection. Probably late 70s or early 80s. What's the serial number?

[analog.matt]
