Greco 1978 GO-1400 Speed Way, Dark Stain, Full Original, Made in Japan

Vintage Greco Full Original

From the peak of Fujigen factory output, comes Greco's top of the line Speedway model.
Produced seemingly with design cues from Alembic alongside the Ibanez Musician series, this GO1400 in Dark Satin finish boasts an ornate use of stunning tonewoods and features an inspiring array of tone controls.

The intricate 7-piece Maple/Walnut neck with volute and "speedway" shape (slim c) runs through an elegantly arched, Sen-Ash sandwiched Maple body, making for great sustain and an overall gorgeous design.
Top quality hardware includes a hybrid bone and brass nut, Gotoh torque-adjustable MH900G tuning machines, and Japan made bridge/tailpiece.

Original PU-3D humbucking pickups do wonders with the active electronics which offer a huge amount of tonal sculpting precision. This includes a switch for series/parralel of the neck pickup and a switch for normal/phase of the rear pickup. The 3-band EQ can be switched on and off and act as an all around boost.

This beautiful vintage guitar is highly recommended for jam band players or any collector of Japanese gear.

CONDITION
This guitar has some signs of wear that include minor scratches and light patina of the hardware, but is in wonderful for vintage condition.
Frets are at around an even 8 throughout, with the neck and truss in great shape.
Playability/action is optimal after professional maintenance and of course the full array of electronics are all in working order.
Everything is original aside from one missing rubber ring at the EQ intensity knob. The inside of the master volume and EQ intensity knobs have been mended with resin.
All photos are of the actual item.
Listing comes with a well padded, heavy-duty, ESP brand gigbag.
