A beautiful natural Greco strat
The folks at Greco guitar produced something special back in 1978, and its sitting in my guitar case ! Behold this beautiful Greco 'Early Sixties' strat type guitar. Yes, early sixties is a slightly strange moniker to put on a large head stock strat type but the decal is totally legit as demonstrated by a cursory browse through the catalogs [ click here to view catalogs on another site ].
The sen ash used on the body of this guitar is simply amazing, and the guitar plays great even with an insanely low action. It also comes with three 'excel' pickups which can deliver clean bell like tones all day long and yet sound great with a overdrive pedal or pushing an over driven amp, and yet never sound harsh.
Lovely Sen Ash !
As mentioned, the action is low and consequently this guitar just begs to be played - and weather your into lashing out the blues licks, punky rip roaring cords or delicate finger picked country lines - this guitar is happy to oblige - and when your fingers are so sore you couldn't possibly form one more bar chord, you can sit back and admire how it looks in its case. :)
Here's a video of me playing this guitar. Note that this is trough an old trace Elliot super tramp amp, a hybrid design with a tube pre-amp and solid state output. It sounds great through an all valve (and I'll upload this shortly) but I think you'll agree even through this amp it sounds great.
