SOLD Greco Semi SA550s 1977

What's Hot
Super8Super8 Frets: 16
edited August 2020 in Guitars £

Stunning vintage (1977) Greco semi in fantastic cosmetic and playing condition. 
Set up with 11 gauge strings and a medium-low action. Intonation and tuning stability are excellent. Neck is straight and frets are in good shape. Tone pots are a bit scratchy so could probably do with a clean.
Very comfortable to play and sounds great. A pro quality (and collectable) vintage instrument and a real beauty - with a particularly lovely tobacco sunburst finish! 

Looking for around £875.

Pick up from South London only, there is no hard case with it, so I will not post - sorry.

    How's the neck profile on this?

    The neck is very comfortable... I would say perhaps not too dissimilar to the modern C profile  - doesn't feel as shallow as some Ds, but maybe not as chunky as the old Cs, or a U or a V . The width is not too thin either - I reckon 40 or 41mm at the nut. I think that it feels like a pretty fast neck, but not as flat and skinny as something like a vintage SG. I would guess that the fretboard is radius is something like a 10" - reasonably flat, but still with a gentle curve - though I haven't measured it. I'm used to playing chunky C profile, 7.25" radius vintage Fenders!

    It's purdy. Is it hollow or is there a centre block? I read somewhere that hinted that the 550s was hollow.

    As far as I know, there is a very small (part) centre block (at the neck end) but overall the guitar  is almost fully hollow.  Closer to an ES330 than a 335 I guess.It's certainly very light and resonant.
