Right, Kanda produced some canda accoustic guitars and the greco were the electric stuff.luis said:Greco was Kanda Shokai own's brand,that became Fender Japan then as far as Fender replicas concern.Gibson replicas could be Orville(there were a lot of similitudes between 335 style Grecos and Orvilles)but I feel Orville is Epiphone Japan.In fact when Orville were out Epiphone Japan were in,then Epiphone Japan became Epiphone Elite.
Greco has some really cool high end models that can compete with any Tokai. It's mostly a mater of model range. In fact, both brands reach the top at the same period ( end 70's to start of 80's). Greco has its nerds in japan while tokai is mostly adorated outside japan.hogguitar said:I recently got an 85 black and 86 white Greco LP Custom on E-bay from Japan. They were each under $400 after shipping charges to Seattle, and arrived within 3 days from auction close. They aren't as nice as my 80 Tokai LS-80, but each cost less than half the price of the Tokai. They are both very nice Les Pauls. I see them regularly on E-bay going for around the same price. Buy them now before people catch on to what nice guitars these are and drive up the price.
