Love the Greco - hard to find. In the mid-late 70s when American companies were trying new designs these Japanese companies were happy copying the old design...Until of course Gibson sent one of them stop and whatever that word is letters. Then Gibson got one of those Japanese companys to make Orville guitars (after Orville Gibson) so they could have more presence in that market.
Burny, Greco, Tokai, Ibanez & others were making excellent guitars back then. Anyway great guitar very, very pleased. I have not been impressed with any of the new Gibson Les Pauls I have played. I saved about 1700.00 & got a better guitar. I have three Gibson acoustics so I do like their stuff but the Les Pauls are simply over priced |
