1979 Greco SV-800 Super View Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Wine Red (MIJ Fujigen)

1979 Greco SV-800 Super View Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Cherry (MIJ Fujigen)

Greco's cheeky take on Gibson's ES-335 model of electric guitar and a darn good one at that, the Super View series features a slightly smaller body (very close to specifications of the ES-339, but interestingly manufactured decades before Gibson ever introduced their model) but with similar semi-hollow construction featuring a maple centre block and 2 piece heavily flamed maple top and sides. Setting itself apart from Gibson moreso, the bound and embelished headstock is an original and decorative Greco design with an inlayed pearloid "Greco" logo, decorative truss rod cover and a veneered brass and bone nut which makes for some interesting acoustic tones.

Featuring a heavily flamed maple top, back and sides and a 3-piece maple neck, this SV-600 has been constructed using the finest Japanese wood and is finished to the highest of Fujigen manufacturing standards. The neck is a slim-taper style and feels incredible in the hands, whilst the original frets have loads of life left at approximately 85% with no dead spots or choking; fret nibs are also completely original and intact.

An extremely versatile instrument and with fantastic tone both plugged in and acoustically, the original humbuckers have been switched out for a set of humbucker sized P90s which offer a very interesting and dynamic tone. Featuring the original wiring harness with an upgraded Switchcraft jack socket, the electronics are clean and quiet with smooth operation.

Professionally serviced and setup with 10-46s, the guitar plays incredibly smoothly with a nice low action with a fret life of approximately 85%, and the humbucker sized P90s sound amazing and offer immense tonal options. Comes with a non-original Artist shaped hard case.
