about 500 shipped from Japan....made in China though...yay or nay?
I've had 1 Edwards Sykes, MiJ from 99 and 2 MiJ Greco Sykes from 83-84. The Greco was identical in weight, feel and tone to a nice LP Standard. The Edwards was good too but didn't feel like an LP the way the Grecos did. Haven't had a Burny to compare though.Or should I go for the Edwards model? I assume it's MIJ?
I had an ltd ec-1000ctm...Just did not feel the same at all. nice....just different.I've had 1 Edwards Sykes, MiJ from 99 and 2 MiJ Greco Sykes from 83-84.

little to pricey for me. cheapest one on reverb is like 1300....I just bought a Greco JS and it’s a great guitar. Feels like a good, old LP should, and much better than any Edwards I’ve had. View attachment 135910View attachment 135913
There are some for 6-800 shipped on eBay; if you want a Sykes you could grab a black Greco and add the chrome pickguard/pup rings after...and add a brass nut too.little to pricey for me. cheapest one on reverb is like 1300....
Nope. Any serial number that begins in FG is Chinese. most people try to scam people into believing it’s FujigenOr should I go for the Edwards model? I assume it's MIJ?
Yup me too. Now I want a Greco (or Tokai) black beauty againThis thread is killing me
what about the egc-550?You’re much better off looking for a Greco Mint Series EGC-600. If you’re patient, around 750-800. They have a long neck tenon and nice and heavy, no weight relief. Here’s my 86. View attachment 135955
then your gonna hate this..lol-This thread is killing me
That a shady auction. The JS600 in 1990 did have the headstock inlay. In 1990 a lot of Korean guitars were made with Thad headstock I’d need to see the nut to verifythen your gonna hate this..lol-

My 86 ECG-600 and 89 EG-1000DRead this, good info in “lawsuit copy era” From my understanding, Mint Collection and Super Real are the ones to get.
