Guitar Description

A shockingly good example of a 59 Les Paul reissue from the golden era of Japanese copies that landed the manufacturers in court. This is a wonderful guitar. It is now over forty years old and while it's clearly not a case queen it remains in excellent condition and is a dream to play. It has a superb sound; the original Greco pickups sound incredible. It has that lovely vintage vibe to it and the perfect balance of being played in but not worn out. There is a lot of enthusiasm and interest in these 1980s era Greco’s and we can certainly see why. Values continue to rise, and this represents a great investment.
