A Greco MR1000 made in 1976.

I remember MR series advertisement decorated the back cover of Music Life magazine every month when I was in the age of junior high school.  Mick Ralphs, the guitarist of Bad Company, was commercial character of MR series.  MR are his initials.  Greco produced MR series as what we say signature model now.

I don’t know when the first 24 frets guitar was made in the history, but within my memory, MR was the first 24 frets guitar that I met, so MR made big impact to me.

I saw a real MR-1000 for the first time when I got this one, in other words I had never met a real MR-1000 for over 30 years.

In fully original condition. There is no serial number but datemark on the pickups revealed final assemble was done at May 25,1976.

The body is wider and thinner than Les Paul. Maple two-piece top, 2 layer mahogany multi-piece body, three-piece maple neck, fingerboard which looks like Jacaranda, Grover pegs, Badass bridge, U3000 pickups were specified.

Its sound is very similar to Les Paul of Greco. 3.84kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.24)
