Comments/alibis/repairs/damage/foolishness: Has brass shielding in pickup cavity, probably an SE-800??, This guitar has the original Greco tuners, bridge and tremolo block, saddles, input jack, strap buttons, and neck plate. It appears the neck may have been mounted on a different guitar at some point, based on the extra set of holes at the heal. The unused holes appear to have been filled and the neck screws are very secure currently. The neck may have come from a different guitar, but is era correct with the correct logo for a 1979 Greco. I do not know the history of the guitar. It came to me in the condition it is currently in. In addition, there are extra holes in the body under the pickguard where a different pickguard was mounted at some point.

History- Greco:  The famed Super Real era at Greco lasted from Late 1979 to Late 1981. A short-lived time when Greco (produced at the FugiGen Gakki factory in Japan) produced some of the best and most vintage accurate Fender and Gibson copies ever made. They also made them in several grades. These are the guitars Fender was looking at when they brokered the deal to have FugiGen Gakki stop producing Greco Strat copies and start producing Fender guitars as Fender Japan. These are the last hand-made Fender and Gibson copies ever produced anywhere. This is before the time of the CNC machine, and computerized routing and shaping. These guitars were all hand-made in the older tradition, just like the vintage Gibson and Fender guitars. They are all unique and individual with variable weights and neck shapes. Truly vintage awesome.

Disclaimer :

Ask any and all questions! If you do not see it in the photos, it does not have it. Many vintage guitars lose their back covers, bridge covers and tremolo bars. I always attempt to show and mention all accessories, damage or issues of note. Please reach out to get even more specific questions answered or to request additional images. I want you to know what you are getting before you buy or make an offer. Thanks, All!!
