generally tho the super power were low spec models..
Mark, I tend to more or less agree with you on that point but from the few examples of old Greco I have seen, their adherence to strict manufacturing guidelines in all product models is like a roller coaster; they're all over the map. Check out this 1981 Super Power gold top with a combination of higher end attributes. NO long tenon tho...... This is possibly the best Greco I have ever owned or played.
Perfect center seam, 2 piece maho back
Fret edge binding
100% true 1 piece neck; NO heel scarf
inked Gibson style serial # and old tuner footprint denoting vintage style Kluson keys
Perfect small binding & maple in the cutaway
Top is perfectly center joined, not off set as some painted tops are; 2 piece of course
The pickups have steel braided cable, covered in some gooie waxy crap, they sound like real PAFs, powerful and clear; notice the opposing holes in the corners are different size
Super Power is an UNDERSTATEMENT folks...................
