Greco W-200 dreadnought acoustic, made in Japan 1975, natural finish. This is a lovely old thing. These take their cues from the classic Martin dreadnoughts like the D28. The acoustic models on offer from Greco in this era aren't as famous as their solid body electric cousins, but they're superb instruments that sound and feel awesome. This one is in tip top shape for a guitar that'll soon turn 45; it's barely got a ding on it. The classic sprue/rosewood combo is always a good start for a rich tone, and adding a few decades of mellowing into the mix means you get a whole lot of warmth and body at your fingertips. There's plenty of natural volume and bass too; this certainly will wake the neighbours when strummed with gusto but it still has a tasty balance to it. The neck is slim and straight, easy to navigate and easy to get friendly with. If you're after a big sounding acoustic with a bit of worldly wisdom, this one will surely be a nice presence at your place.
