(SOLD) Used Greco Super View SV-800 Semi-Hollow Guitar
Greco 335-style Super View semi-hollow, made at the legendary Fujigen factory in 1979, in stunning aged brown sunburst. This is just stunning! The sunburst finish has aged gracefully and really shows off the subtle flame of the white sycamore body. The gold hardware and cream binding has discoloured with age and complements the finish perfectly. The three-piece maple neck is slim and comfortable, you really don't work hard to play it at all. The tone is bright, balanced, thick and warm with plenty of sustain and bite. The quality of instruments from the Fujigen factory from this era is extraordinary, this is another example of meticulous Japanese workmanship. In a word: lovely.
