Members Hoddy Posted April 20, 2007 Members Share Posted April 20, 2007 I haven't seen one of these before...a Greco takeoff of a Gibson sem-hollowbody guitar, maybe an ES-137, but with their own touch added to it. Most notably tortoise shell binding around the body, neck, headstock and even inside the F-holes...a stunning guitar! http://cgi.ebay.com/1988-Greco-Super-Real-Project-ES-137-Repl-SemiAcoustic_W0QQitemZ330111631111QQihZ014QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GarysBlues Posted April 21, 2007 Members Share Posted April 21, 2007 Greco, and Tokai have made some very, very good looking Semi-Hollow electrics! And their playability, craftsmanship is right there with Gibson IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted April 21, 2007 Members Share Posted April 21, 2007 heres mine but it`s a different hollow body and from the early 70s. It doesn`t have a center block running the length of the body. Bit unusual...I can`t find another exactly like it... the ones I`ve seen either have different neck inlays and same bridge or different bridge with same inlays...also the p`up markings on mine are different from what my books on early Gnecos should have. I like this one a lot...real light and plays great for a guitar of it`s age. I have 3 mid to late strats too...they made some great stuff, which is why F/USA went with that factory when they decided to start up Fender Japan.
