Greco guitars

[backslazh]

Have anyone here tried Greco guitars? Is it good shit?

Someone told me that they are almost Gibson quality! And at harmony-central someone says it's even better than gibson !

Any experiences?

if you are in the USA, why don't you go for Agile guitars at www.rondomusic.net

[quadlaser]

some grecos are truly exceptional.

but the guitar rule of thumb seems to be that guitars under 400 bucks suck ass,

just as gibson has great guitars, but pieces of shit too

[sabre]

yeh grecos are amazing, try and get hold of one of the lawsuit ones from the 70s and 80s, they have them on ebay. Delivery is expensive but the guitar is cheap as hell for something that quality.

You might want to check out burny as well, theyre at least as good as grecos, probably better.

I fuckin hate agile fans. I dunno how many people they hire to whore out their shit but anytime someone asks hey I'm thinking about this guitar....someone has to pipe in and say oh get an Agile. bleh!!!

Hehe i know, i was trying to stir someone up, yes i am an asshole

Yeah i agree, top range Gibsons are beautiful (if your willing to spend that much) incredible tone. Hell when i'm rich and famous (hey i can dream can't i? ) i'll be getting my self several Gibson Custom shop guitars.

But if it falls off it's stand you can say bye bye to it, Gibsons are fragile and their headstocks snap off way too easily.

Bah! Fender!

I could make myself a better guitar

Hmmm not sure, i would have to build a few guitars to be better than a custom shop.

[Forsaken]

You don't like Fender? I thought I read somewhere else in this section that your fav guitar was the Strat... eh prolly a misread.

You suggested Agile to me in a thread a while back, i thought hard about it but ended up getting a guitar from a local shop instead, but those things look sweet and i bet they soung great too, when i get my next guitar im probably getting something from that site B)

Those Agile guitars seem pretty decent. I've read some reviews, and everyone seems to like them just fine. The only thing that gets me is the weight... 10 pounds for a Les Paul style? That's kinda light.

Yeah because they would use very poor quality Mahogany, they would modify the trees in the plantation to make them grow really quick (making the wood much cheaper) and therefore the wood is not very dense.

Yeah, either that or they use the old flat body/arch top trick.
