A Greco MR-1000 handcrafted in 1977.

It’s easy for us to confirm the manufacturing year on and after 1977 model because they have serial number.  1977 model is orthodox bridge and tailpiece style in comparison with innovative Badass bridge of 1976 model.

Newly hardware assignment improved its balance impression by appearance and became suitable for all, but in other words, got less unique.  To reinforce weakened character, flat surfaced PU-1 pickups and diamond shaped fingerboard inlays were adapted.

The sound character of MR is similar to Greco Les Pauls but a little light probably because of its weight.

PU-1 pickup has unique surface as well as back appearance.  Cream colored resin is stuffed and looks like real soap.  I have never seen such a pickups among the greco products.  PU-1’s sound is similar to U3000, but has a little high output and has well sound separation of low tone strings, so it makes us comfortable to play power chords.

Pickup cavities have flat bottom like Greco Les Pauls, different from 1976 model. 3.65kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.24)
