Another glorious 1973 built Greco with the 5-piece construction neck. We have never seen a 1973 neck that needed any adjustment after 50 years - this one included.
 
This guitar arrived here from Japan after a long cherished life in the hands of its original owner and aside from regular servicing and a fresh set of strings, it needed for nothing. The frets are low but level - a refret is not far away; but when guitars are as comfortable to play as this one, lets get the most from them.
 
This would make a very good starter instrument. This SE-430 is so slick, so gentle and has a decent acoustic ring even when not plugged in. Have one in the collection that the offspring can actually want to play! Its talents aren't limited to this - this may look like a Strat, but has an entirely different character to anything from Fender, and is obviously a fraction fo the price of a 50 year old Fender.
 
The Maxons pick-ups are low output heaven - their distinctive brightness pairs with a small valve amp perfectly. These were the original iteration of the pick-ups in the USA-bound Goya guitars - a fair few very famous guitarists found their sounds and styles on these.
 
Its in great condition, needs nothing for another few years, but will need a new set of frets to get to its 100th birthday. Of course there are signs of life on the finish, but its all genuine - its taken 50 years to get it looking like this!
