1980 Greco Super Real SA-900 335-Style Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Sunburst, Near-Mint w/ Maxon PAFs, Japan

$3,699.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1980 Greco Super Real model SA-900 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Hailing from the most collectable (and brief) era of Greco production and the pinnacle of Fujigen design, this SA-900 is a faithful reissue of a 1960 ES-335, featuring maple semi-hollow construction with distinctive rounded “Mickey Mouse ear” body horns and a pair of Maxon-made “The Groove” PAF-style humbuckers.

This SA-900 has a potent, lively acoustic response with great natural articulation and resonance, providing an ideal platform for the humbucker pair. The pickups are some of the very last Maxon-made "The Groove" PAF-style humbuckers offered in Greco instruments (before pickup production was brought in-house at Fujigen), and they're extremely articulate, sweet-sounding, and harmonically complex pickups. This SA-900 weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst finish highlights subtle birdseye figuring on the top and back, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few minor finish scratches on the body. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for one shallow mark central to the carve behind fret 6 that is virtually undetectable to the palm while fretting.

The original form-fit gigbag is included.
