Someone asked me how many guitars I've bought since moving to Japan. The answer is embarrassing actually (pic heavy)

I see absolutely NO problem here.

Now, let's talk about when you finally try a Greco......
 
Awesome

I really should get a Crews, istg

Especially the Deviser-made ones. I love the shit out of my Momose strat

I still own my EGC-60 and I used to own an EG-1000D. To be quite honest, I loved them but they are not at the same level as the Navigators. I might even put my Crews Maniacs against them

I almost bought a Momose strat. Some seem to have a fender headstock but the more expensive one have a headstock design that only a mother could love, lol

Oops I forget that you've had a few. Yes the Navigators are the top of the heap from what I've read. But, I'd take every Greco I've owned over any Edwards. I've had 2 Edwards Sykes and it wasn't close in comparison for me anyway.

The edwards E-LP-105 is beautiful, but I haven't bonded with it. Its light, but lacks resonance. The Tiger DC is a signature on the underhand is great, but signature models are apparently all made in Japan. I also have a first year Edwards that has "Produced by Navigator" on the headstock. The ESP jixi plant in China didn't open until 1992. The heal, neck enagle, headstock titl, and control cavity are quite different

Them and that other brand whose name I forgot. Looks like a weird can opener to me lol

Yeah I bought one of those Wa-series (和) strat with the Fender headstock that they made out of Japanese alder and maple. Heavier than what I expected, but I don't think I've ever played a guitar that neat before. Easily up there with my Navigator and Suhrs at least, and a lot less pricey. Pickups were great, too. Changed absolutely nothing except the tone pot because I wanted a no-load one.
 
You got some awesome guitars there; and killer deals. Did you leave any for the rest of us ? :LOL:

How's the Ibanez market over there? I'm always a sucker for an Iceman.
 
That's quite a collection, especially since these are the "new" guitars you bought. Must take up a hell of a lot of space.

I was asked lol. That said, yeah, i get it. This is the equivalent to me walking into a room, dropping my pants and performing "the helicopter" unsolicited.
