Beautiful Greco LP on eBay

[Denis]

Sure is pretty!
A couple of years ago a Greco LP popped up on eBay but it had THREE of their Thunderbird pickups in it.

$412... did you win it, Marc?

Sniped by someone. I was watching the auction and was high bid right up till the end, thought I was going to snag it for a little less than $400 which was my max bid, then a couple of bids hit at the last few seconds and I was done.

I was a little concerned about the neck or I would have went higher to begin with. It's probably fine and can be adjusted but in one of the pics it looked to be about a 1/2" above the last frets. He said the "neck looks straight after tuning" and his pic measured at the 12th fret looked to be about 1/4th of an inch. The one of the neck at the nut it looks like the strings are almost touching the frets.

Another will come along somewhere down the road.

Wise move.

...and his pic measured at the 12th fret looked to be about 1/4th of an inch.

I'm pretty sure that's a metric scale.  Looks like about 2-1/2 mm.

2.5 mm is around 3/32 inches.

2.5 mm is around 3/32 inches.

Yeah, I didn't do the conversion so I overstated the gap a little too much. The one pic looks like I could stick my finger between the string and the fret board at the neck pickup. I had to lower the pickups on my white one to the level of the rings to keep the strings from hitting the pickups. Like I said before it's probably not anything that couldn't be adjusted but it did keep me from going higher on my bid.
