Comments/alibis/repairs/damage/foolishness:   This is a 1981 Super Sound, SE600 J, Jeff Beck model.  It was modelled after the modified Strat Jeff played in Japan during some late 1970’s tours. Greco made these models for many years and in several grades. This guitar was modified to original Strat control set-up but has been put back to the Greco original configuration. This required the addition of some non-original pieces of wire.  The front two-way toggle configures the front two pickups in series or parallel. The Middle 3-way is front, middle, or off. The rear 3-way is bridge pickup on, off, on, out of phase.  This may not be correct.  There seems to be some debate online, but in playing around with them, this is what I found makes sense. Many great sounds to choose from!  The pickups are original Maxon-made Strat pickups without covers. Missing one control knob, and the bridge saddles are Fender replacements.

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. 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. Also, my judgments on what the level of wear is, the neck shape, and overall condition are my individual assessments and may not agree with yours. Thanks, All!!
