Has it been ever made in 70s-early 80s and finished in nitro? If yes then what model designation would that be?

This model does not appear in the 1982 "mint collection" catalogue.
In the 1990 catalogue, there is one model of Sg Jr : the SJR-600 model
The specifications are (from the 1990 catalogue) :
Mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, polyester finish and a "hot lick" P90 pickup.
I hope this model appears before 1990, and could have a different finish (polyurethane finish) in the mint collection years.
The SS500 models have a polyurethane finish.Russian Vadim said:le juge said:Open O on the Greco logo, this model was made after 1982. No nitro finish on these models.

That's a **** shame that they weren't finished in nitro. The one above just looks so nice and old. I like the silkscreened logo.
Were 1981 SS500 with two P-90s finished in nitro or poly?

Probably best just stripping a super real series one and refinishing if nitro is that big a deal to you. The finish on them isn't that thick and with no binding shouldn't be too hard a job to scrape it off.
There's a mint collection 2 p90 on YJ at the moment that should go cheap cos of the damage to the finish?? around the neck - could make a nice project to convert to nitro
