Greco RG-550 1978 - Natural
This Greco RG-550 is a super rare, all-original 1978 piece modelled on Rickenbacker's cresting-wave body shape, and a genuine joy to play. There's no sign of fretwear, and the low action makes it incredibly smooth all the way up the neck.
It's in unbelievably good nick for its age, with some fading on the scratchplate but the finish itself in remarkably good condition, showing only minimal surface marks. The machineheads show some expected wear for a '78 guitar, but the original pickups and G-branded tailpiece are still in excellent, shiny condition. The binding on the neck and around the body still looks fantastic, with a little aged wear and fading that only adds character.
It's loaded with its original pickups and 3-way toggle selector, and those sharktooth pearloid inlays on the fretboard look as good as ever. An excellent, incredibly straight example for a 1978 guitar.
