$1,799.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1990 Greco AP-850 in near-mint conditions and in perfect working order. Produced at the Fujigen factory, this Greco a Japanese-built iteration of the Ampeg Dan Armstrong platform, featuring a transparent acrylic (Lucite) body, three-piece maple/walnut neck with a rosewood fretboard, and “Rock-Bullet” humbucker with blade pole pieces.

This AP-850's “Rock-Bullet” humbucker packs a punch, metering at 10.9k ohms, with a full-sounding, aggressive tone that delivers muscular, spanky cleans or thick, ripping gain while retaining excellent top-end definition. The two-way mini toggle bypasses the harness and sends the pickup directly to the output jack for maximum dynamic feel and “cranked” levels at the flip of a switch. Weighing 8lbs 13oz, this AP-850 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
