Hi all. Im a long time collector of Lawsuits since the late 90s (Im in Japan often). Still rock an OBG firebird, a 1980s Yamaha SA-1000, and some U.S. stuff. Had about 30 in total until now.
So, I picked this up last month in Fukuoka, Japan, for about $390. The store didn't even have info on it. They just said its a 73-75 Mahogany SG special C+ grade, (you can see it has some chips on it, but I like that. The finish seems to be rather thick though). No serial at all. But after looking around here and some googling, I have to say, I haven't seen one like it at all.
I know they say open the pups up, but I dont want to mess with this setup, its perfect right now, so I came to you guys.
OK, so what is it like? Wow, wow, wow. The neck feels slightly longer than some other SGs I tried in the past (and one in the store when I bought it, Gibson with baked maple?!?). Very resonant unplugged, p90s are nice and sparkly. The tuners keep tune really well. I was going to swap some parts, but it got new strings and a setup in Japan, and Im just going to enjoy that for a while.
SO, my question for y'all is what is this Greco? Thanks!
