Nice to find a place that will discuss guitars other than G***** and F*****!
I just bought a Greco SG. If anyone would care to have a look and make a comment...that'd be cool!

Thanks Otto!
I've been having all sorts of fun trying to nail down the various parts on this guitar. Like those little pots?! and the bridge. It seems to have the same measurements as a real ARB.
I've already put a set of Grovers on it and have a set of Burstbuckers coming. For some reason a previous owner "steel wooled" the finish, so I might try and polish back to a nice gloss.

T cut and a lot of elbow grease should bring it back to a shine

Ya.. No idea why a previous owner would do that to the finish...although I like the way the neck feels with the finish "steel wooled". Had a bone nut put in this past week. I think some burst buckers will be next.

You would not believe what i have seen from previous owners!
every thing from butchery to complete stupidity.
these people do not deserve such fine guitars
(ok i know lots of people like to dull the new look)

I spent a 1/2 hour or so on the back with some McGuires med and fine cut polishes and managed to get a fair bit of the gloss back but you can still see some of the deeper scratches. I'll post more pix when she's all done!
BTW.. Any idea how old this guitar might be? Also... I still cannot find and info on those little pots, other than they're 500K. I swear I've seen that logo somewheres before but can't quite place it.
