A Greco GO-1200 Brown manufactured in 1978.

In the late 70s, tree diagram of guitar music had changed, so-called “fusion” was born and guitar market for it also was born.  In Japan, Katsumi Watanabe, Masatoshi Takanaka and Prism, etc. provided traction.

Guitar producers might think that guitars like this should be welcomed because the fusion required broad sound variation. But they were unexpectedly short-lived.  It is true for all articles that multi-purpose is no-purpose.

Recently I found a Kanda Shokai CM of GO series.  In those days I lived in rural Akita so had no opportunity to became noticed. I was surprised to notice that electric guitar CM was on air then.  It was a clear evidence of high popularity of electric guitar then. Here in Akita, only band music lover knew Greco, but ordinary people definitely knew Greco in capital region then.

According to some information, there were additional two version of CM. If you are interested in them, please try to search.

When holding it in my arms, I feel certain bulk density and rigidity. The Sound sustains long. I have been regarding GO series as unpopular model, but they dealt in considerable high price recently.
