Here's a stunner that will have your guitar radar up and raring to rip and riff to your hearts content. The Greco SA-550 is the Japanese guitar giants homage to one of the greatest guitar designs ever to fly out of Gibson USA's hallowed halls, the one and only ES-335. This particular piece is from the golden era of Greco Guitar builds and the quality of materials and workmanship are second to none. Exquisitely crafted at the famed FujiGen Gakki plant in Japan, this timeless classic is built with top quality tone-woods and components and sounds /plays every bit as good as she looks. It's time to Hideaway and Rumble with a guitar that will please the discerning professional in every way. The quality of the select woods used in this instrument must be seen in person to truly appreciate, and nothing gets the juices flowing quite like old growth. The instrument is acoustically lively and resonant with a harmonically sweet timbre and satisfying feel. Plugged in she is a tonal beast with gristly articulation and red-hot blues power, delivering fat, cutting tone and unbridled fury. This guitar features many noticeable qualities that truly make it a wonderful homage to the early 60's ES-335 that Gibson produced and truly more authentic feeling and looking than most of the "reissues" offered by Gibson until recently. Attention to little details like patent numbers on the bottom of the ABR-1 style bridge, the oval label in the bass side F hole, vintage correct colored amber switch tip and accurate neck profile are some of the many things the amazing designers/luthiers got just right. It also has a long neck tenon that legend has it that it adds sustain and overall juice to the tone. There are a few scratches and buckle marks on the back, a few on the neck, some shrinkage/cracks in the binding(nothing loose all is rock solid) small chips/wear around the face of the headstock and a little ding on the top but overall this piece in very good vintage condition. It is dialed in and ready to be your main squeeze.
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
