Produced concurrently with the Ibanez Musician instruments at Japan’s venerable Fujigen factory, this Greco clearly takes its design cues from Alembic, boasting neck-through construction and active electronics. The GO1400 was the top-tier Speed Way instrument available at the time of production, particularly ornate in its presentation with top-tier tonewoods and a bevy of tonal sculpting controls.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe seven-ply neck is composed of maple and walnut, and the body wings are crafted from a maple core sandwiched between two pieces of sen ash. This guitar is exceptionally resonant and lively, with a complex acoustic response representative of the various tonewoods; there’s ample articulation and glassy snap, with the midrange heft and authoritative note attack of ash, translated through the original PU-3D soapbar humbuckers. These pickups are rich and full, with a particularly vocal, sonorous quality, spongy low mids, and a dynamic feel. The active electronics enable a huge amount of tonal sculpting precision, with a three-band EQ and independent Phase controls. This GO1400 Speed Way weighs 10lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Wood: Maple\/walnut (seven-ply)\u003cbr\u003e \n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .825” 1st fret, .900” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \n-Fretboard: Striped ebony, brass ring inlays\u003cbr\u003e \n-Fretwire: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e \n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e \n-Nut: 1 11\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e \n-Headstock: Ash veneer, lyre inlay, brass \"Speed way\" truss rod cover\u003cbr\u003e \n-Tuners: MH900G\u003cbr\u003e \n-Serialization: G78-prefix (July, 1978)\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Wood: Ash\/maple\u003cbr\u003e \n-Pickups: PU-3D soapbar humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e \n-Controls: Volume, Tone, EQ On\/Off toggle, Bass\/Middle\/Treble EQ (center detent x3), Phase toggle x2\u003cbr\u003e \n-Harness: Full-size Japanese pots, active electronics powered by 9V\u003cbr\u003e \n-Hardware: Gibraltar-style bridge and tailpiece with brass sustain block insert, gold-plated cavity covers\u003cbr\u003e \n-Plastics: Sure Grip knobs, black reflector cap EQ knobs, cream pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe gloss “Dark Stain” finish has just a few tiny dings on the body perimeter at the lower bout and treble-side horn, as well as a couple minor scratches on the top and back.
