Greco is a Japanese guitar manufacturer, established in 1967. Made in Fuji-gen (the factory that also produces the equally famous Japanese Fender guitars) and Matsumoku, depending on the year and model, their guitars are perfect copies of Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, etc.: 'Made in Japan' at a perfect price-quality ratio. We are familiar with the excellence and precision of Japanese luthiers. Rare on the French market and rightly sought after, our Japanese network allows us to offer them to you.

GRECO Telecaster TE-500 Thinline Ash Natural, made in Japan (Matsumoku), circa 1971-73


Very good condition for a guitar over 50 years old. Vintage look. Very few signs of wear, and the frets are in pretty good condition for their age: 7/10 (see photos for details). Excellent playability and excellent tuning stability (original Greco Japan "Stars" oil-bath tuners).

Very powerful and precise tones. It sounds great with distortion, a nice tone. Very pop, very rock, very current.
