I just sent one back to a shop here in Japan. It was the worst example of Greco I have yet seen The neck was 5 pieces of wood with a maple cap on top of that, body was 2 pieces of wood glued one on top of the other, top loader bridge, looked like it was painted with house paint... and heavy. It was a `77 from Matsumoku. NOW I`d like to add that I have 2 1978 Greco strats that are very nice so I think I got a bad tele. There are quite a few teles around Japan so I will keep looking, just wanted to let you know that pictures sometimes don`t tell the entire story. Ask a lot of questions from the seller if you see one you are interested in.
