Description: 

Something for the collectors; a 1984 Greco Prototype for a model never put into production. In the mid Eighties Greco launched their "Guitar-Device" series designed to compete with western brand's superstrat and shred inspired guitars. This is a prototype build from that series but this model was never put into production. Uses the "JJ" neck on a Jackson inspired Kerry King style shape Flying V body. Features handwritten Kanji prototype factory markings in the neck pocket and neck heel. 

Original Kahler tremolo, tuners, electronics and a set of USA Seymour Duncan Humbuckers (SH-1n, SH-6b).

As best we can tell this is a 1 of 1, never put into production.

The body shows some general wear - light surface marks, dings, dents, scratches. And the edge of both horns of the "V"  show some damage (see photos). Otherwise body is in good shape overall. Rear of neck shows some light surface marks and a few very small dings, but they do not affect playability in any way. Headstock shows some surface marks and a very minor ding on the front side between the D and G tuning machines but is otherwise in good shape. Fretboard shows some marks from what appear to be some kind of colored pencil/crayon (?), we've removed as much as we could but a small amount still remains. Hard to even see unless you are looking very close. The inlays some kind of checking/cracks but is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect their structural integrity. Besides that fretboard is overall in good shape. Frets show some light wear but overall are in great shape with no issues and plenty of life left in them. Hardware shows some age and light pitting but is all perfectly functional and overall in great shape. Electronics work great and pickups have been replaced with a brand new set of USA Seymour Duncans, SH-1N in the neck and SH-6B in the bridge. A totally unique and GREAT playing prototype Greco. Possibly 1 of 1 ever made. Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes gig bag.

Neck Profile: C

Neck Depth: 1st fret .799", 12th fret .902"

Fretboard Radius: 12"

Nut Width: 1 11/16"

In the mid-1980s, the Japanese brand Greco released several models featuring factory-installed Kahler tremolo systems to compete with Western "Superstrat" brands like Jackson and Charvel. These guitars, often part of the "Device" series, are known for their high build quality and typically featured the Kahler USA Flyer or 2200/2300 series bridges

Thrilling and illustrated beautifully
Format: Paperback
Do not miss this series if your a Star Wars fan, if your a Vader fan in particular this is a must read comic as it really goes into Vaders early days and his journey to become a true champion of the dark side. Had to put it down on purpose several times so it would not end. Loving my second read of the same volume as well. This book pulls no punches and the writing is much better than I thought it would be. This is one of the few new Marvel comics that can stand tall with the classics and Dark Horses comics. Illustrations are top notch and the story is well thought out.

An origins story of sorts
Format: Paperback
Darth Vader is an angry man. Recently Anakin Skywalker, hero of the Republic, the Chosen One in the eyes of some of the Jedi, he is now a literally broken man, as much machine as human, as result of losing a battle with his former master—and ‘brother’—and left to die along the lava rivers of Mustafar. Worse, he is bereft of his great love, Padme Amidala, and is at least the proximate, if not the direct, cause of her death. So yeah, he has a few things to work out. This first volume of the second DV run from Marvel focuses on how Vader becomes Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith that strikes fear in the hearts of friend and foe alike. The plot here across the six collected issues is fairly minimal. Having lost his lightsaber to Obi-Wan in the Mustafar fight, he needs a new one, and it needs to a Sith saber, which can only be gotten by taking a saber from a foe and “bleeding” it, by infusing its crystal with all the hate and anger that drives the Sith. In the process, this will turn the crystal’s light red (thus explaining why Sith sabers are the color they are). So, the first three issues are about him acquiring and crafting said saber. The other issues are his rocky introduction to and training of the Inquisitorious, the Emperor’s new Jedi hunters. So, with six issues of not a whole lot of story, does this collection work? To my surprise, yes it does. This is all about emotion, and if there is a standout star, it’s Vader’s rage. His former life gone, crushed and burned in the fires of Mustafar, Vader’s going to forge a new one in the very flames of his anger. Writer Charles Soule has done a fine job in depicting this inner turmoil and translating it into the foundations of the Dark Lord’s new life. Also nicer is artist Giuseppe Camuncoli’s work. The artwork is dynamic—Vader is agile, fluid and skillful —and interesting. It’s good stuff and does a fine job giving us insight to Vader’s state of mind. As I’ve said, there’s not a whole lot of story here, but there is a fine character study of damaged man rebuilding himself into a powerful and formidable individual.
