Guitar is all original, finished with classic triple sunburst, that aged nicely. Axe that will give you the feeling similar to playing on Fender Stratocaster from ’50s, than you need to have one of those late ’70s Grecos. So if you’re looking for vintage sounding axe that’s fully restored and stage-ready. Well, in this model it is soldered directly onto the PCB. Right, now we can move on to the sustainer itself. Maybe not as good as Grecos from early 80’s, but we have to acknowledge that those are really expensive nowadays. Its a 3 way switch: position 1 selects the single coil, position 2 selects both single and humbucker, position 3 selects the humbucker only. :: Gibson Flying V 1981 :: Guitar: Gibson Flying V 1981 Desc: Black with white pickguard Inlay: Dots Pickups: 2 pickups which were exchanges for two EMG 81 in 1987 Controls: 2 volume controls, 1 tonality control Note: This was Kirks principal guitar while recording the first 4 albums.

Ace Frehley from Kiss with Greco MR-1000. Ace Frehley from Kiss Greco AK1400 in 1978. This guitar represents all what Greco achieved those days: perfect craftsmanship, high quality hardware and good vintage Fender reproduction. One example was the Greco AK-1400 Flying V. You wouldnt get the comparable tokai or greco for that price anymore. Comparable to say mid range tokais and grecos. My guess is it would be an excellent mid range strat. Greco Stratocaster SE500S from 1978, when this brand became well known on domestic market and started to be recognisable on markets outside the Japan. Thing is fernandes probably released a bunch of models in different price points so youd really have to get more info.
