1978 Greco GO1200 Speed Way Vintage Neck Through Guitar Natural, Near-Mint, Japan Fujigen
Up for sale, a 1978 Greco GO1200 Speed Way in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced concurrently with the Ibanez Musician instruments at Japan’s venerable Fuijgen factory, this Greco is an expertly crafted instrument, featuring neck-through construction and active electronics.
The seven-ply neck is comprised of maple and walnut, and the body wings are crafted from a maple core sandwiched between two pieces of sen ash. This guitar is exceptionally resonant and lively, with a complex acoustic response representative of the various tonewoods; there’s ample articulation and glassy snap, with the midrange heft and authoritative note attack of ash, all translated well through the original PU-3D soapbar humbuckers. These pickups are rich and full, with a particularly vocal, sonorous quality, spongy low mids, and a dynamic feel. The active electronics enable a huge amount of tonal sculpting precision, with a three-band EQ and independent Phase controls. This GO1200 Speed Way weighs 9lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
