Greco SG-2 Walnut Japan Circa. 1975 Electric Guitar
Here for sale we have a Greco SG-2 in Walnut finish. Made in Japan circa. 1975, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body and Mahogany neck with 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Schaller Deluxe tuning machines with Tulip buttons, Harmonica style bridge and Stopbar tailpiece.  A pair of Maxon P90 pickups are installed. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls. 
 
The Mahogany neck plays well, with what could be described as a ‘D’ profile that fills the hand nicely without feeling at all cumbersome. The gloss finish to the rear of the neck is very pleasant to the touch, and assists with smooth transitions up and down the register. The 10" fingerboard radius feels as flat and consistent as ever, offering comfortable playability right the way up the neck. The familiar twin horns of the SG body provide uninhibited access to the upper frets, whilst the contoured edges of the body ensure that it sits snugly in the arms for a comfortable playing experience. 
 
The pair of P90’s in this guitar are well regarded by players for their versatility. Whilst the hard rock tones you would expect from an SG are clearly present, the pickups offer a nice smooth and rounded tone that is suitable for a wide range of styles. Country and Blues players will like the bite of bridge pickup, whilst the warmth of the neck position can be appropriate for jazzy sounds, especially when rolling down the tone control. Independent volume and tone pots offer comprehensive control of your sound, making this a real workhorse instrument that matches the versatility of the musician. 
 
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall good condition. The headstock displays scratching, scuffing and indentation throughout, most notably to rear face top edge and corners where the finish has chipped to reveal the wood beneath.

    Neck: Overall good condition. The rear of the neck demonstrates light to moderate scratching and indentation throughout, most notably to the treble side in line with fret 6/7 where the finish has chipped to reveal the wood beneath. This has been stained and drop filled to a decent standard, can be felt beneath the finger upon inspection but cannot be felt in the playing position. The fingerboard demonstrates light indentation throughout that cannot be felt beneath the strings.

    Body: Overall good condition. The body demonstrates light to moderate scratching and indentation throughout, most notably to the bass and treble sides of the lower bout where the finish has chipped to reveal the wood beneath. Some finish cracking is present to the neck joint; this has been tested and does not effect the structural integrity of the instrument.

     

    Condition of Frets:

    The frets demonstrate notable signs of use, not affecting playability. Denting and flattening of the frets is apparent throughout the register. The fingerboard demonstrates some lifting fret ends throughout the register, these are structurally sound and do not compromise the guitars integrity or playability. There is light material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
