Greco in a time of low energy...
owner:
Strummer
A little over 10 years ago, there was a time when there were many small, privately owned recycle stores that sprang up in the wake of the recycling and eco-boom.
In those stores, I found unexpected bargains in guitars, and this is one of those guitars.
The owner said it was a broken guitar that he didn't know what it was...
So, we made a deal for 5,000 yen.
The neck was in good condition, with more than 80 % of frets left, and all I had to do was go home and replace the shield jack to complete the repair.
It's a Greco from the late 90's when it was losing its energy, but it's well made and the neck fits my hand and is easy to play.
It looks like a cheap version of someone's signature guitar, which is a smaller version of Mosrite's body shape, but I think it's a good guitar for what it is.

| sound features | I'm not familiar with Greco of this era, so I don't know the details. I think it's the cheapest Greco hum at the time, considering the price. It distorts nicely and has a clear sound, so 5,000 yen (plus the cost of the jack) was worth it. |
