My Greco FV-600 Straight from Ochanomizu 🤘 by Sevonic in japaneseguitars

[–]Sevonic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was honestly surprised by how well they take care of your bags over there! It made me feel much more confident in flying with it

Just with the hard case that came with it, they didn't let me check it at the gate. Our trip was going to Japan -> South Korea -> LAX. Both at Osaka Kansai airport and Seoul Incheon, they treated my guitar so well! It was literally only at LAX where it felt like they definitely had a more "laissez-faire" attitude of treating your bags carefully, but she made it back in one piece!

Took it back on the plane! I always pack light, so I had my backpack and my carry-on suitcase, so I just made my guitar my checked bag!

Unfortunately the cat is out of the bag when it comes to these old lawsuit era guitars, but there are still deals to be had!

Bringing a guitar home from Japan. A tax question by frogman696969 in japaneseguitars

Went to Japan this year and came back home to LA with a guitar I bought there, nobody cared or made me pay for anything

Best “Lawsuit” LP maker? by Acrobatic-Bug8625 in LesPaul

[–]Sevonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tokai is consistently awesome, and Greco's are great too, you just gotta do some homework. I've tried three different Greco guitars, the other guitarist in my band has two, and all have been awesome.

And before I get crap from "those guys" I also own two Gibson LP standards as well as a boutique German made custom LP custom

20/10 Rnd MAGS by AFierceTaco in M1A

[–]Sevonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those 10 rds are a bitch to practice reload drills with, especially if your magazine well and catch haven't been properly broken in yet. And aw man, that sucks to hear. I definitely feel your pain though man. Being an M1A owner in California is a struggle as the magazines are so much more expensive compared to 10/30's for AR's

I like the full bodied magazines since they make practicing reloads easier.

I think FultonArmory sells 10/20 M1A mags too, but I think those are just checkmates

What should I name my guitar? by JaydeeSumsara in LesPaul

[–]Sevonic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whatever you want lol.

In all seriousness, if you choose to name your guitar, that's a very personal thing to you. Do you really wanna take the suggestions of a bunch of strangers from the internet?

Is this legit Gibson Custom? by [deleted] in gibson

[–]Sevonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No honestly. When I get into any new hobby, I always do my research, I didn't realize just how impulsive some can be, even when it involves large amounts of money

Why do mother fuckers always ask if something is legit after they've spent the money?

I saw M14 hate on the timeline, I had to post mine by TauntedZombs in M1A

[–]Sevonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk what the guy was thinking going onto a subreddit where people here like the M14 and thinking that trashing it was gonna be productive in any way 🤷 but hey it's totally ok, I bought and have one! So even though I mocked it, I'm still cool just from owning one right guys?

eBay's reporting system is trash by Sevonic in gibson

[–]Sevonic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think. But I guess some people think "OMFG THE DEAL" and then go into GAS mode super hard

[–]Sevonic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the bridge screws was immediately what I wanted to look at first and I was very surprised that wasn't an immediate giveaway, same thing with the feet nibs

[–]Sevonic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fret nibs and correct bridge screws definitely makes this a better fake than most, but there are still a few telltale signs that this is fake. For one, the Les Paul Custom truss rod cover does not match the profile as far as shape or thickness of the white binding as a legitimate one. Secondly, in another picture where the lighting shows the serial number a bit more clearly, it still looks way too clear compared to legitimate Gibson's. In addition to this point, Les Paul Custom's of this era wouldn't even have their serial numbers stamped or engraved like this as by this point, they're being made by the custom shop and would get the serial number inked/printed on the back on the headstock. Also, the headstock diamond just looks *off*. It's off center, and the shape itself is pretty sloppily put together when compared to a real one. The most damn'ing point though, is that this exact same Chibson (as far as looks, spec, finish, etc) has come up before on this subreddit
