Are Greco Making LP's Again?

darrenw5094 · 04-30-2012, 07:50 PM

Last Greco i heard of was from about 1990. But a new Greco LP with new shape headstock, stamped made in Japan, and truss rod adjuster similar to the Musicman guitars is on the Bay. GRECO LPS EG-95 is the model number. The item number is 380430951031. Retail is $1049.

Uh-huh. I don't know what the reviews on those are though.

Meh? I liked them a whole lot better, when they were pretty much exact copies of Gibsons. I'm also not digging the body-side, TR access/adjustment. Reminds me of a...dare I say it, Fender?

well the upside being that the weak spot in the neck is strengthened.

I've seen a few up close and tried out one. They are nice guitars but a bit overpriced I think. Lots of sales around on those too. I have no problem with the look, just that there are better alternatives for less.
