pag parang gibson ang truss rod cover it's a 79, otherwise it's safe to assume it's an 89

Hindi siya bell type eh yung medyo sharp yung edges nya so 89 sya?

Is it really a Super Real model even without the "Super Real" on the headstock?

sorry i missed that wala ngang super real logo. Year and model is correct. Kahit yung low end model may nakalagay dapat na super power. Possible na leftover na non super real neck from 79.

I agree. I would have gone for it if it had the super real or super power logo. 

Hard to determine without seeing the pickup cavity, even with that there's so many factors to consider. 

[toybitz]

Me want a Greco LP and Strat. 

May Greco LP ka na hindi ba boss?

[superbuni123]

Yup. I want another one. 

A white custom or a 1979 (preferably February) standard.

Sir so 89 or 79? naguguluhan padin ako sir salamat nga pala sa replies.

Sir so 89 or 79? naguguluhan padin ako sir salamat nga pala sa replies.  

wala pang ganyang truss rod cover nung 1979 dati gibson-like trc pa. then nagkaron ng issue nung early 80s (kaya tinawag na lawsuit era) so yung greco, tokai, burny, etc started changing the trc.

sa greco, late 79 lumabas ang super real series na replica ng real gibson LPs pati trc  then nung nagpalit ng trc naging mint collection na pero ang visible difference lang is trc. sometime late 80s i believe naging korea na yung iba.

sa mga pics na nakita ko ng mik ang common is hindi braided wires and may black paint sa loob pag LP. not sure sa SG.

a friend told me na yung 70s greco are copies ng 70s gibson while yung super reals are copies ng original gibsons. so pag may nakita kang stock super real at reasonable ang price go get it, lalo pag nakita mong 2 piece maple top sya it means di sya low end.

nung second year ng super reals, i believe, nagkaron ng upgrades kaya yung lower models ng super reals the year before ay naging super power meaning dati silang super real the year before. hindi yata maple top ang super power.

also please note na may mga overlapping like super real na may parts ng 70s or super power na may mint collection trc.

from memory kaya plus or minus 1 year hehe

'89 nga siguro sir haha Ang galing nyo naman sa history. Japan siya kasi braided ng parang gray or silver ng cloth tapos painted patient cavity nya. Mas matanda pa guitar ko kesa sakin haha. Problem ko nalang san makakakita mg replacement parts nun gusto ko po kasi irestore talaga eh

[Musikerochan]

teka, quick question guys, i dunno if anyone has the same problem. ganito kasi: yung GReco LP ko eh mejo rusty na yung mga saddles and hardtail bridge. no. more like corroded na. i painted it gold to cover the base metal and prevent further corrosion. ive traide replacing the tailpiece na before but sadly, the replacement didnt fit. when i measured, yung distance ng low E sa high E dun sa old saddle is 50mm, while yung mga bago ngayon is 52mm.

here's a little pic for reference:



mejo blurry lang yung pic because i was holding the cam last night.

has anyone measured theirs? the saddle, i mean.

eto nga pala yung headstock nung guitar for added reference. TIA.

salamat sa tip sir. Have you personally dealt with them before?

Nope. It's a bit pricey there  . But if price is not a factor, I think they provide bang for the buck restoration/replacement parts.

all upgrades should be reversible, especially kung all stock:

1. no refinish
2. no additional holes
3. don't remove the decal

and keep the original parts

to make it shine pag madami nang gasgas:

1. use autosol metal polish once on the finish to remove the fine scratches then a good guitar polish sa mga susunod pero wag araw araw.
2. don't use metal polish sa metal parts especially sa pup covers mauubos ang chrome

use lemon oil sa fretboard and wipe the body and strings after every use

Ayun Master Royc pano po pag yung pickup cover yung pinakamain problem ko? Tsaka same question as before, may alam po ba kayong mabibilhan ng replacement parts?

pag nag upgrade ka ng pups makintab na cover nun. Mag post ka sa ads madami sellers dyan specify mo lang japanese guitar kasi like sa pots magkaiba diameter ng US at mij shafts lalakihan mo pa ang butas. Sa pups no prob. Anong part ba papalitan mo? Try mo din stewmac.
