Hi there,
I have got it into my head that it would be nice to have an old Greco strat. No rush but I'm thinking of something like this '76 SE500:
ebay item 320999025751.
I've looked through the catalogues and done a bit of reading, but I'm still not sure what I'm looking at. It seems the '79 to '81 "Super Real" is the high end guitar. Up till then there were "spacy sound", "super sound", "sparkle sound" and "super power" etc but I can't quite see the difference between them. The model numbers seem to go SE500, 600, 700 and 800. Is it as simple as the higher the number the better the guitar?
If so, what's the difference - (maybe quality of fittings, one piece body etc)?
Or is an SE500 just a fine axe and I should go for it?
Cheers
Potsy
