This rare early “lawsuit era” Greco was crafted at the Fujigen factory, drawing significant inspiration from Gibson's ES-175D with features including a fully hollow maple body paired with a spruce top, Maxon “High Sensitivity” humbuckers, a zig-zag trapeze tailpiece, and an ebony fingerboard with split parallelogram inlay. Even the distinctive and rarely seen \"Greco\"-embossed humbucker covers mirror Gibson's similar offerings circa 1971-72.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe instrument has a warm, broad natural acoustic quality, and the Maxon “High Sensitivity” humbuckers are wound in the vein of the original PAF. Notes are sweet and bold, with great clarity and a touch of growl in the bridge position, and lots of breadth when flipped to the neck position humbucker, perfect for smooth, mellow Jazz tonalities. This S-55 is featherweight at 6lbs 12oz, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 roundwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple (three-piece)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Soft V, measuring .830” 1st fret, .895” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Ebony, split parallelogram inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Star\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Spruce (top), Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Maxon “High Sensitivity” humbucker x2 (1974 date stamps on baseplates)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Nashville-style bridge with rosewood base, zig-zag trapeze tailpiece, “Greco”-stamped pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Witch hat knobs, four-ply pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExceedingly well-kept for over 50 years, the gloss Sunburst exhibits only limited checking along the binding, with wear restrained to just a few small nicks on the body as a whole.
