Its Greco logo long ago replaced with a real mother of pearl Gibson inlay and professionally installed it shows no tell tail sign of being anything but original.. very cool lawsuit era Japanese Greco Jazz box... RARE FIND she is in deed. The PAF type Vintage pickups sound great and are the originals I'm told same as many Ibanez used and Greco's and a few other used there sounds like Super 70's which were made by Maxon back in the day... highly sought after now days too... this one is in SUPER NICE shape its neck is the very slim profile 3 piece with mahogany center construction just the same as old Gibson's BK model ( pre 1970 style = this one has NO VOLUTE just like the early pre 1970 Gibson versions, this example also has the famous Black " Stinger " on back of the headstock, with a Slim C profile width is 1-9/16ths" at the nut this has a very fast feel for EZ lightning fast jazz runs also the fingerboard appears to be rich Brazilian Jacaranda Rosewood as the inlays are also made of cellulose nitrate just like the old BK Gibsons please see the pics. The original bridge was upgraded to a very high quality Gibson an it is an inlayed in mother of pearl bridge detail as well , the tuners were also upgraded in the past with a nice set of Grover roto's in gold its was done some years ago along with the headstock inlay transformation. Taken in on a partial trade for another Japanese vintage Ibanez L-5 we had in we are very pleased at JVGuitars to present this beauty she has been out of circulation for over 37 years by the original adult owner and has been well cared for in its past.Of course this is not a new guitar not is it mint it does have genuine wear - patina of a real vintage guitar with a few minor chips that have occurred over time from use but never abused and shows overall very nicely and is in better than average for this age and model all & all an easy 8.65 /10 very good - excellent vintage rate.

1978 Greco es175 Sunburst hollowbody electric guitar crafted in Japan SOLD     1978 Greco es175 Sunburst hollowbody electric guitar crafted in Japan SOLD

SOLD OUT: Here we have a Beautiful example of a vintage Japanese Greco es175 from back in 1978 known as the Lawsuit era and is a faithful Replica of the pre 1970's Gibson not the later ones NORLIN era these are copy's of the 1960's Gibson es175. About this example Iv gone over head to to its VERY well preserved in very good to excellent vintage condition. No actual wood cracks ... thats a good start, neck is nice and straight medium C profile 1-11/16ths at the nut - excellent, frets are good we did a minimal fret level and crown and dressing during its set up work which included clean and de-grime- the entire guitar top to bottom carefully not to take away its beautiful natural aging patina.rehydrate woods "lemon oil " its rosewood fingerboard and bridge which is also nice deco ebony wood.Hardware is chrome and overall still quite nice looking better than most I must say as is its bindings ... bindings on some of these vintage guitars can be a problem same with the Gibson this example has excellent bindings. The top is a very nice straight grained Sitka Spruce the sides and neck are mahogany, back maple, the fingerboard is rosewood and bridge is Ebony. Its headstock is also the open book Gibby style as is its mother of pearl Greco logo and crown motif like the gibson from a few feet away...humm.... anyway I also changed the truss rod cover to the Gibson type for an overall improvement visually. The finish still shines up beautifully and is a thin poly the Japanese mastered and rivals the Nitro lacquer the US used back in the day but stands the test of time better as it is more durable than nitro ... thin skin so tone resonates beautifully and look at it after all these years upon closet inspection in certain light I see fine finish hair checking to its top clear coat not into the wood not excessive and evenly across the top you have to get up very close inches from it to see this you do not feel its vintage patina and is natural aging and is beautiful on this guitar... have a good look colors still vibrant and excellently preserved a true vintage guitar in its own right and is sure to please. The Tuners are the preferred from FujiGen Gakki of the late 1970's-mid80's or so seen on so many of their higher end guitars from that factory.. they were used on Ibanez and some Electra and others and in this case the Greco. Electronics are also great the pickups are the great era super 70's style know as great Paf replicas and sound great to this day no need to swap anything out here. This guitar at one time the previous owner put on a Bigsby we removed that and installed this vintage Gibson correct piece I filled 2 tiny holed in top with spruce dust and glue then top coated with tiny brush tip lacquer closely tinted to fade it away barely noticeable at a couple feet away,,, then entire guitar was polished and now she's in great shape and ready to serve well for another 40 years with care. She weighs in at 7.2 Lbs. Intermediate to pro level playing instrument for a song compare to a $2500-3500 Gibby at a fraction of that here at JVGuitars.com contact Joe to buy it at: jvguitars@gmail.com .

It’s unfortunate but I see many of these that have suffered from lack of care - misuse - abuse what have you time has not been kind to the many from 1978 iv seen so, many with the deterioration of the old celluloid pickguards it seems they “off gas” and this seems to play havoc with the bindings on guitars i’v seen it on Gibson’s and others too and this “gas” eats the bindings away they just crumble and begin to fall right off ruining an otherwise would be a great guitar. I am telling you now this guitar has no such issues the bindings are all excellent truly this is rare to find in my experience. This came to me without the original pickguard oddly enough I believe that may have saved this beauty form this fate. I may or may not put another bound pickguard on this beauty I can order the original ... we’ll see... This beauty had the gorgeous ebony fingerboard with the fret edge binding detail is very nice by any brands standards this is a custom shop level guitar overall this 42 year old top of the line Japanese crafted beauty is in played at least 9 out of 10 on its cosmetics impressively figured top and back this beauty has character the original owner changed the pickup rings from cream to black ( looks better IMO ) also took off the flying finger pickup covers , I have those , This guitar has been adult owned and well loved and respected taken care of condition This is a California guitar ..... so no finish checking no cracks no structural issues what so ever, a few minute scuffs or tiny abrasions thus the 9/10 not 10/10 just recently set up and she plays like a million bucks! I’m first long term fav guitars I loved was my trusty 1964 es335 td burst when I was 17 threw to 32 you could play anything on it ..... this Ibanez plays and sounds just as good as that Gibson at a fraction of the cost of what I sold my old 335 for back in the 80’s If your looking for a really good guitar you found it here at JVGuitars.com Just in MORE NEW pics will soon be soon to come Front pic is file photo ours doesn’t have the pickguard , other back photos ARE the back of this guitar I didn’t prep guitar or take these pics so, I will have many new pics coming soon If Interested to buy it contact Joe at Jvguitars@gmail.com .
