This mid-range model of Greco was a popular work-horse instrument and many arrive here with an amazing road worn patina, but still perfectly functional. This SE-500 has led a very charmed life - only a few parking knocks to speak of - the plastics and neck condition indicate it was stored in its case between uses.
 
The original Maxon pick-ups are in rude health - providing that slightly scooped yet biting tone - they sound amazing with a little crunch. These pick-ups have been thoroughly checked and their leads reflowed to the base plate to ensure their output for another 50 years. Plugging into a little practice amp is very rewarding - the more drive you give it the better! Through the bigger valve amps here just makes it better - bordering on addictive. They don't pretend to be high fidelity precision definition units - these are growly bright and fun; the tone controls will give you a warmer cleaner sound if you need.
 
This guitar is approaching its 50th birthday and I see no reason why it won't go on for another 50. It comes in its original Greco case, has its original tremolo arm, and user guide (in Japanese).
