Hi All,
First time poster. I have acquired a Greco Telecaster of some description. At first I believed it to be a TL-800 telecaster but I am unsure. I understand it to be an early 80s model, but a number of anomalies are now giving me cause for concern about its authenticity.
I knew that certain parts were swapped out, like tuners and it would appear the bridge also. But I am confused that the neck doesn't appear to have a skunk stripe, unlike on all other Greco Teles I have seen. And the serial number on the neck plate doesn't seem to fit with any other Greco formats I have seen.
Here are some pics...might anyone offer their expert opinion?
