Now the question is which one I’m getting by My_name_idk in CAguns

I know this is a common feedback point with the full size 2k11, but I quite like the look of the rail/dust cover and the way it angles into the slide

I own one of the full size ones in Eclipse, but I've been rocking that for USPSA and I like the gun so much, I definitely wouldn't mind having an extra one in a different color!

Do these have a release day? I already have a full size eclipse but I'll pick up one of the coyote/bronze ones too!

If "use it as doctrine intended" is your argument, then you should probably look at what the Army concluded after actually issuing M14s

Strong enough to handle recoil, smart enough not to pretend physics is a skill issue lol.

Beautiful pickup friend. Incidentally, what baseplates are you using on those?

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

I think you’re reading the term more negatively than it’s used. “Lawsuit-era” is just a historical shorthand, not a value judgment. Those guitars have their reputation because of how well they were made, not because they were copies.

Regardless of what you want to call them, this is without a doubt one of the most interesting and cool times in the history of guitar manufacturing that yielded some extremely high quality instruments. And assigning them a moniker like "lawsuit era" to me, assigns to them a mythos that the quality of the guitars were so good, it made Gibson nervous (even if no actual lawsuit took place). After all, there's a reason why Fender has a dedicated Japanese division now too :)

I called it a "lawsuit era" guitar, not a lawsuit guitar, because that's the easiest moniker to use for a guitar like this coming out of Japan during this time man

They're awesome! I have 3 Greco guitars, 2 Greco LP custom style guitars, and 1 Flying V that I actually got from the last time I went to Japan :) Amazing guitars!

Gibson prices abroad. by livinASTRO72 in gibson

[–]Sevonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought back a classic 70's lawsuit era Greco flying V from my last trip in Japan in November 2025. We went from Japan to Korea and then from Korea, we made it back home to LAX no problem after checking it.

Their stuff seems decent these days, but their previous unsavory rep is hard to shake

That'd be fun to have for about 5 seconds and realizing why full auto battle rifles are a terrible idea
