Hello forum. I am interested in buying a Greco FV 600 which the seller claims is from 1978. I compared the photos to some other I could find online and the serial number looks odd. Could someone confirm the guitar is legit? The SN reads “0 6933”. Thanks!

It's not a '78. If i had to guess it's a 1990 or perhaps an 1980. Does it say Greco anywhere ?? The pictures aren't a lot to go on.

Ok it looks old. Now i'd lean more to 1980 than 1990 but it's hard to say for sure.
Most people would prefer a '80 to a '78 for what it's worth. It's a more desirable year.

Ok, thank you. But from the serial number you would say it is legit? The seller wants US$500 for it. Thanks again.

Looks legit to me.
There was 2 different serial fonts, the one like on yours and one that starts with a letter. You can find examples of your style serial numbers on Reverb and the like.
