1976 Greco PB-500 Precision Bass Left-Handed - Black - MIJ Japan Vintage

A genuine 1970s Japan Vintage P-bass in left-handed configuration. This Greco PB-500 dates to December 1976 by its neck plate serial (L763157) and was crafted during the so-called lawsuit era, when Japanese makers were building faithful reproductions of classic American designs.

The body, neck and pickguard are all left-handed, so this is a lefty-built instrument, not a converted righty. It has a 1-piece maple neck with a walnut skunk stripe, Greco-logo open-gear tuners, and a split-coil P pickup, giving it the classic Precision layout and look. Left-handed Japan Vintage basses from this period come up far less often than right-handed examples.

== WHY THIS BASS ==
Left-handed vintage P-basses from 1970s Japan are hard to find, and this one is a serial-dated 1976 Greco PB-500 with matching left-handed body, neck and pickguard. With its 1-piece maple neck, Greco-logo tuners and vintage mojo, it is a solid choice for left-handed players who want a playable MIJ vintage bass, or for collectors of the Greco catalog.
