A Greco SE-1000 Project Series handcrafted in 1978.

Probably further explanation is not needed about the Project Series.  SE-1000 placed under the flagship model SE-1200.

Greco installed DiMarzio FatStrat on SE1200 and original PU119 pickups on SE1000.  They also featured aluminum pickguard and spring box cover, Schaller pegs, and unique and time-consuming finish like other Project Series guitars.

According to OYAZI REPORT site which has much knowledge about Greco, from 1978 to 1979 was a transition period of model name displaying place on their body, on neck joint plate to back of headstock.  Also according to the same site, single piece of sen(Japanese ash) was used for 1978 model but this one composed of multi-piece.

Complete electrical sealing makes noiseless sound, but such a guitar can’t be called Stratocaster anymore. Compactly compressed gentle sound, figuratively speaking, original Stratocaster is a naughty young girl, on the other hand electrically sealed Stratocaster is a gentle lady. 

 

The selection depends on you, but I love the former.  3.60kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.24)
