Greco 1978 SuperSounds SE500

$999.00

The 1978 Greco SuperSounds SE-500 stands out as part of Japan’s famed “lawsuit-era” instruments, when builders like Greco were producing guitars that rivaled and in some cases surpassed their American counterparts. The SE-500 has earned a cult following not only because of its quality, but because each one carries a distinct “vibe”: a mix of vintage feel, quirky individuality, and the underdog story of a guitar that proved Japan could compete with the giants.
