Greco SA500, brown sunburst, made in Japan 1980. What an exquisite little biscuit this is! The SA500 from this era is Greco's take on the downsized 335, so it's similar to the Gibson ES339 in size, although it pre-dates the Gibson model by a few decades. The body is a superbly bookmatched laminate white sycamore with a centre block; it's a spectacular looking on both top and back. The burst finish has aged gracefully, and paired with the golden binding and dark chocolate rosewood board, this looks stunning. The neck is a slim, straight and comfy round shape; it's extremely easy to play and you can feel the love and precision that's gone into the build. CNC routers didn't arrive at Japan guitar builders for another couple of years, so this beauty was shaped and caressed entirely by hand... it's definitely a testament to the craftsmanship of the legendary Fujigen plant luthiers. The previous owner replaced the stock pickups with a pair of Duncan Phat Cats, which are a humbucker-sized P-90 style single coil. It sounds fantastic: clear and chiming, with a sweet openness and air through the treble, but thick and percussive on the low end. The midrange has a chewy sweetness to it, it's quite complex and lends a nice harmonic complexity to juicy chords. This is a really lovely guitar, I really enjoy playing it.
