Serial number: K8948605
Year: 1989
Country of manufacture: Japan

This is one of the rarest Greco models outside of the well-known Les Paul / Mint Collection lines. Greco’s resonator production was short-lived and limited, and these instruments appear extremely rarely on the international market.

Factory Specification

This example features a factory full pearloid fingerboard and matching pearloid headstock overlay with Greco logo.

This is not a modification.
This is original factory specification.

The pearloid board version is exceptionally uncommon and far less frequently seen than standard rosewood examples.
