Greco RJ-85 Black Roc Jet Gretsch. Japan vintage made in 1988, very rare model

I'm not a frequent seller on reverb.com, started trading from 18'.

Yet, I do have more than a decade of selling experience on ebay as g250547, which has more than 400 positive feedbacks.

Feel free for any questions and expect me for a reliable transaction!

This is a very cool guitar by Greco made in 80’s
Very fine Japan Vintage nice axe!

It sounds great! Though this is not American guitar, it creates warm and nice vintage tone.

• Neck is straight! The truss rod works.
• Not a fat profile neck. Quite slim & thin C shape. Very playable.
• About remaining frets life, I would say 70-80% (1-7th fret, several dents are seen), 80-85% (8-12th fret), 85-more% (13th and beyond).
• Serial number on the headstock is E880980
• Pickups are strongly attached and since I scared to damage by extra force, I just left as it is.
• According to the Grecon catalog of the time, this guitar has mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, G-TRON pickups
• Pickup outputs are 7.41 ohm (neck), 7.37 ohm (bridge).
• No issue with the electronics.
• There is a sticker on the pickup selector cavity cover.
• The original strap button at the body end is missing and the replacement is added on the side.
• Weighs 7.67 lb.
• Shipping and the payment terms are described below.

  This guitar is in good condition for the age. There are polish swirls, small dents and scratches as you can see on the pictures.

The guitars I am selling are all vintage and not played for a while. There could be some crunches on electronics, but they are all within the extent of which are fixable with the use of lubricant sprays unless I note specifically as defects.

If you are picky with them, this vintage guitar is not for you.

Please have a look at the pictures and judge with what you see.

Please fell free to ask if you have any questions.

About shipping (Very important)

Due to COVID-19 situation, Japan Post is only supplying EMS (very fast express) or Sea freight (very cheap, but takes 2-3 months) to many countries.

Some countries are even restricted to use either or could be impossible to ship.

In some cases, I may have to separate the neck from the body due to the size limitation.

e.g.) If no air freight is available, but sea freight is only the option. I may have to use the latter. But some countries limit the maximum length to be 1.05m, which is impossible to ship without separation.

Please understand and agree with the possible changes in the shipping method.

The situation may change on daily basis.

For the precise info, please access to the Japan Post website () and get info by yourself.

Since there are so many people asking, I will not answer to the specific questions about your country’s status.

Countries which will be sent by EMS are:

Great Britain, Germany, Bulgaria, Norway, Russia ($178)

Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, United States ($182)

Taiwan ($98)

Sea freight could be the option for about half the price (check out by yourself from here

It is a 8000 grams parcel shipped from Tokyo Japan)

For other countries, check the availability of the shipping and the rate from

I believe following countries are able to ship, but not sure SAL (Not the express, may take 2-3 weeks, but a little cheaper than EMS) is available at this moment.

France, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,

Denmark, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, spain, Sweden, Switzerland

Honkong, China, Singapore, Thailand

Please check your status and rate if you want to know.

 If you think the shipping charge is expensive or want to know about EMS, SAL and Sea freight rate, please have a look at

Overall (Guitar, packing materials) weighs 8 Kg and I suppose this is the appropriate amount that I may ask for.

Other sellers may demand less than me for the shipping, but my starting price is lower than other sellers.

 Shipping fee defining is a little complicated that I just set it as $178 to countries besides USA and Japan.

Yet, when buyer is from other countries, I will refund the shipping fee based on actual cost.

Be careful that you may have to pay import duty depending on your custom policy.

This guitar is listed from Japan and will be shipped from here.

No trade/low cash offer. You will be ignored and will be on my blocklist.
