(SOLD) Greco SS63-60 SG Style White 1988
Greco SS63-60 SG, white, made in Korea 1988 approx. Some look better the more beat up they get, and surely the white SG is a prime example. This little punk dates to Greco's short lived partnership with Cor-Tek, made in the late 80s near Seoul in South Korea. It's got the sticker marks and light wear to prove it lived through the 90s; the well-played look is a lot of fun. The quality is very good; the materials and workmanship on offer is to a very good standard. The neck is moderate in profile and well balanced against the weight of the body; it's simple and agreeable. The pickups are awesome: heaps of warmth and growl with a chiming defined treble to keep things clear. They eat gain for breakfast but also work surprisingly nicely clean. If you're partial to the tasty

The back has some uneven fading from since-removed stickers (inc. skate-punk legends Rancid sticker, gives some clues about it's past) as well as some widespread but minor scuffs and scratches.

The front is pretty clean, just some more sticker fade marks, scuffs around the knobs and bridge and some play wear on the guard and top horn. Overall: good condition (7/10).
