History

Kanda Shokai was established in 1948 and the Greco guitar brand name was started by Kanda Shokai in 1960 [http://www.kandashokai.co.jp] . It was not until 1966/1967 that electric guitar production was begun in earnest with the introduction of Greco Telecaster like models. Kanda Shokai at first used the Greco brand name for the solid body models and used the Canda brand name for their Acoustic models which was based on the company name Kanda (Canda). Also in the mid/late 1960s, Kanda Shokai produced Greco branded guitars based on Hagström and EKO designs for Avnet/Goya in the USA and these guitars were made by the Teisco and FujiGen guitar factories and were very similar to the late 1960s Ibanez guitars based on Hagström and EKO designs.

In the early 1970s Kanda Shokai made Greco Gibson like models with bolt on necks which were very similar to the Ibanez Gibson like models at that time and most of these models had a Greco logo that looked more like 'Gneco'. By the mid/late 1970s most Greco Gibson like models were being made with set necks and open book Gibson headstock designs. Some other Greco Gibson like models from the 1970s had a different headstock design (more like a Guild headstock design) that had a Greco logo with equally sized letters.

Starting in late 1979 the Greco 'Super Real Series' were introduced which were high standard replicas of Gibson and Fender models. In 1982 the Greco 'Mint Collection' was introduced which continued the high standard of the 'Super Real Series'. In 1982 Kanda Shokai and Yamano Gakki become part of Fender Japan and Kanda Shokai stopped producing it's own Greco Fender replica models. Since the end of the Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas in the early 1990s, Kanda Shokai have produced various models using the Greco brand name such as the 'Mirage Series' (similar to the Ibanez Iceman), various Gibson copies (not using the open book Gibson headstock design), Violin basses (VB), Zemaitis Guitars and various other models as well.

Some notable guitar players that have used Greco guitars include Ace Frehley who used Greco Les Paul replicas when Kiss were on tour in Japan and Elliot Easton of The Cars.

Characteristics

The Greco Fender replicas from the late 1970s and early 1980s are similar to the early Fender Japan guitars as Kanda Shokai own the Greco brand and are also a part of Fender Japan. The Greco Fender replicas made by Matsumoku have Matsumoku stamped on the neckplate and the other Greco Fender replicas were made by Fuji-Gen Gakki. Most of the Greco models included the original selling price in Japanese Yen jp icon 円 in the model number (EGF-1800 = 180000 Yen). The 'Super Real Series' date from late 1979 to 1982 and the open O Greco logo 'Mint Collection Series' date from 1982 to the early 1990s. The 'Mint Collection Series' have an open O letter in their Greco logo (an O letter with the top part of the O letter removed) and the 'Super Real Series' usually have a closed O letter in their Greco logo.

The Fuji-Gen Gakki guitar factory were the main maker of the Greco guitars in the 1970s and 1980s [http://www.aboutus.org/FujiGen.co.jp] . Fuji-Gen Gakki obtained a CNC router in mid 1981 for making guitar parts and also began to manufacture their own pickups starting in late 1981 [http://www.fujigen.co.jp/history] . The Fuji-Gen Gakki CNC router and Fuji-Gen Gakki made pickups were used for the 'Super Real' and 'Mint Collection' series starting from 1981 to the early 1990s. Up until 1981/1982, Nisshin Onpa (Maxon) made pickups were used in the Greco guitars including the 'Super Real Series' and the guitars were made in a more luthier style with no CNC machines used. The Cor-Tek and Tokai guitar factories were also used to make some Greco models due to FujiGen not being able to make some lower priced Grecos in the late 1980s.

There were also some transitional Greco models from 1981/1982 that have a mixture of 'Super Real Series' and 'Mint Collection Series' features such as a 'Super Real' model with an open O letter in the Greco logo instead of a closed O letter. The Super Real EGF (flametop) and EG series higher end models featured nitrocellulose lacquer finishes and fret edge binding and some of the Super Real lower end models also featured fret edge binding.

Medium tenon neck joints with dowel reinforcements were used up until 1981 and standard Gibson style long and medium tenon neck joints were used after 1981. The medium tenon neck joints with dowel reinforcements were very similar to the Gibson long tenon neck joints that were used in the early 1970s before Gibson switched to using a short tenon neck joint. Some Greco models featured chambered (not solid) body designs up to the early 1980s which weighed less than a regular solid body model and also had a slight semi acoustic quality. Some of the current Gibson models also use chambered bodies such as the Gibson Les Paul Supreme.

Some Greco Les Paul guitars up until 1982 had laminated pancake bodies and were based on the similar Gibson Les Paul laminated guitars from the 1970s. The lowest priced Greco Les Pauls sometimes had different woods to the regular Maple and Mahogany combination. Up to 1980 the lowest priced Greco Les Pauls such as the EG450 model have Birch bodies. The lowest priced Super Real and Super Power Les Pauls such as the EG450 and EG480 models from late 1979 to 1982 have Sycamore tops.

The EGF-1800 (flametop), EGF-1200 (flametop) and EG-1000C (custom) models from the 1980 and 1981 catalogues (as well as very early 1982 models) featured 'Dry Z' pickups (PAF like pickups made by Nisshin Onpa (Maxon)). The type of pickups vary depending on the guitars original selling price and the Nisshin Onpa (Maxon) made 'Dry Z' or Fuji-Gen Gakki made 'Dry 82' pickups were reserved for the top end models. The lower end models such as the EG-500 mostly used 3 piece maple tops while the higher end models mostly used 2 piece maple tops. 'Mint Collection' models with a K after the numeric price designation (e.g. PC-98K) came with factory installed Kahler tremolo (vibrato) bridges.

The 'Mint Collection Series' features vary with price with some of the higher end models such as the EG58-120 model having most of the same features as the 'Super Real' higher end models. Most of the 'Mint Collection Series' had long tenon neck joints but some had medium long tenon neck joints. There were also some Greco 'Super Sound', 'Super Power' and 'Rock Spirits' Gibson replica models made as well. The 'Super Sound' models were mid priced models from the 'Super Real' years (late 1979-1982) and the 'Super Power' models were lower priced models from the 'Super Real' years (late 1979-1982). The 'Rock Spirits' models were lower priced models from between 1979 and the early 1990s

erial Numbers

Greco guitars have been made by Matsumoku, Fuji-Gen Gakki [http://www.daeschler.com/articles/fujigen/] , Dyna Gakki [http://www.espguitars.co.jp/gca/employment.html] and others as well.

Greco Gibson replicas started using serial numbers around 1975 and pre 1975 models had a Greco logo that looked like 'Gneco'.

From the mid 1970s to the mid 1990s Greco models have mostly used 2 serial number formats for non Acoustic models.

The first format is MYYPPPP.
*M = production month (A=January B=February . K=November L=December).
*YY = year (79=1979).
*PPPP = production number.

The second format is YPPPP.
*Y = year (9=1979 0=1980 or 1990).
*PPPP = production number.Sometimes a month letter is used in a MYPPPP format.

Since the mid 1990s Greco models have used other serial number formats as well.

Most of the Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas were made by FujiGen Gakki. Some Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas starting from around 1988 had no serial numbers. The lower priced no serial number Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Cor-Tek (Cort) and usually have Cor-Tek (Cort) potentiometers. The Cor-Tek made Greco guitars have square shaped, brick like nuts with no slope and also often have shielding paint in the pickup and control cavities. Other higher priced no serial Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Tōkai and the Les Paul models have a EG-75 or EGC-75 model number stamped in the pickup cavity and sometimes have fret edge binding. The no serial Greco guitars made by Tokai have square shaped routing holes at the bottom of the pickup cavities whereas the no serial Greco guitars made by Cor-Tek (Cort) have thinner rectangle shaped routing holes at the bottom of the pickup cavities. Kanda Shokai stopped using the open book headstock design on Greco Gibson replica models around the early 1990s and then concentrated on their other model lines and Fender Japan. Atlansia have supplied body and neck parts for Greco models as well. Tokai currently make the Kanda Shokai Zemaitis and Talbo models.

Squier Company manufactured strings for violins, banjos, and guitars.It was established in 1890 by Victor Carroll Squier in Battle Creek, Michigan.In 1965, the company was acquired by Fender.By 1975, Squier became defunct as a manufacturer and a brand name for strings, as Fender opted to market its strings under the Fender.

My books say p`ps should have Maxon on them, either a sticker or stamped.mine have neither, could be made before the Maxons, or the sticker fell off. I`ve seen pics of guitars that resemble mine but either they have a different bridge or inlays but none that are exactly like mine so I`m not really sure what I have.

Up to 1900, the best were made in Europe. Victor Squier started making his own hand-wound violin strings, and the business grew so quickly that he and his employees improvised a dramatic production increase by converting a treadle sewing machine into a string winder capable of producing 1,000 uniformly high-quality strings per day. Squier, and became well known nationwide and were especially popular among students because of their reasonable price. In the 1930s, Squier began making strings for the era's new electric instruments; the company also sold, and until divesting itself of all string-related products in 1961. Entered the picture in the 1950s, when the V.C. Squier Company began supplying inventor and businessman with strings for his unusual new electric guitars.

It's in pretty darn good shape as it's been used so little. Thanks much~ Jen. I have a Goya F12 In very good finish and nice straight neck.Just a small fixable crack where the 2 halves of the back come together.

Greco started the Les Paul-line with Gibson/Norlin-specs in 1975. The earlier models from 1973 to end of ´74 (EG-380 & EG-450) had bolt on-necks and chambered bodys. In ´75 the chambered EG-450 & 500´s with set neck-construction started as lowest production-line, the solid EG-500, 600, 700 & 850-model as the medium-class guitars. The first transition-models (EG-500 & EG-700) build in 1975 have no serial-#. Greco started using serial-no.´s officially in 1976.

Never heard that one before. Heres my early 70s Gneco.they changed the logo to Greco sometime around the mid 70s.so as far as I know.this one is very early 70s.

To this day, their violins are noted for their exceptional varnishes, and they command high prices as fine examples of early U.S. Monarch pro version 11. Instrument craftsmanship. Squier ranks among the best-known U.S.-trained violin makers and is often referred to as 'the American Stradivarius.' Victor returned to Battle Creek, where he opened his own shop in 1890. As his business grew, Squier moved the company to 429 Lake Ave. And eventually to 427 Capitol Ave, S.W.—the famous 'fiddle factory' of Battle Creek. With a limited market for violins in Battle Creek, however, Squier astutely sought relationships with national music schools and famous violinists.

I would contact DJI perhaps on the Service forum, I have not heard of anyone doing that before but I imagine it could be done. If you ever do any updates please read my tips page, might save you some grief in the future. Welcome to the forum Farkle 1 by the way!! Do you happen to know what FW you are currently On? There are certain ways the craft needs to be updated, If not sure, fire up the whole system and go to the 'About' tab on go app and take a screen shot and post it or list it here, I can at least tell you where you stand on the firmware anyway if you wish. The page you want will look similar to this one, it is an example only and has older firmware, ****Remeber to NEVER UPDATE THE RC transmitter BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT.EVER!!

These models were Fender models and not Squier models. The Stratocasters had Fender USA pickups installed and were made for the Japanese market only and not for export. Fender soon added a less expensive export Squier series based on the Fender Japan 1957 and 1962 series in July/August 1982, which had a large Fender logo with a smaller Squier logo and had a zinc rather than a steel tremolo block and again the Stratocasters had Fender USA pickups installed. The Squier series were also made available for the Japanese market in October 1982, which incorporated small changes compared to the export Squier series.

Serial Number Idm

Wiring and no name pickups look like it could be China/Korea. They 'assured' me that the vintage team looked at pictures of it and said it was a vintage 80's model made in japan, doesn't look it to me and from the info I gathered the FG serial numbers are all made in China. Anyone care to shed some light on this? [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG].

It plays nice, and I'm real interested but I don't want to spend that amount on a Korean Burny. The store owner just said he got it in a trade-in and doesn't know the origin. And also, how does $500 sound for a very played Burny SG 61 Reissue, if indeed it's MIJ? Thanks for any help. Burny's can be pretty difficult to determine their country of origin. Generally though, the older 70s to early 80's models sport the Gibson style trussrod cover.

Much of it is like perhaps a 1964 F-27, but the bridge is wrong. The Goya catalog for F-27 says it should have 'non-adjustable T-shaped duraluminum truss rod'. I see no evidence of this (if it should be visible) on either the headstock, nor inside the body.

List

It has a rosewood bridge with two bone/ivory strips through it much like the ones used on later models with steel strings 4. It's label has the pre-zip configuration stating Goya Guitars Inc., New York 10, New York implying 1964 or earlier 5.

In the beginning, their work on these replicas were mediocre due to lack of proper knowledge and materials. But by 1974 or so, their standard of making these copies escalated as they acquired correctly styled hardware. To top that, their craftsmanship were excellent. In no time, Greco made more clone models of original Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Zemaiti, lbanez, (and other brands) than all other Japanese company combined. In terms of quality, skill and knowledge, they beat Tokai to the lawsuit race by at least 5 years.

The second format is YPPPP. • Y = year (9=1979 0=1980 or 1990). • PPPP = production number. Sometimes a month letter is used in an MYPPPP format.

I'm going to fix it and put a Zipper inlay to cover the repair. I'm 64 yo and I was around 20 yo when I bought this guitar and loaned to my brother.

The turners don't look to me, like the ones on Grecos from 1976 to 1990 (might be wrong). I reckon it could be a pre-1976 a Korean Greco guitar (though tuners do not look like the korean ones) or a post 'Mint Collection'. I guess you could check the inner cavities for the pickups to see if it has a tennon reinforced with dowels and the pickup wires are push back metal braided ones >> You could then confirm if it's late 70' one and it worth the bill. Personally I would not risk buying it, though I must admit I haven't try a pre-76 Greco Les Paul, I have a 78 which are supossed to be better and it hold its flaws compared to another EGC 57-60 Mint Collection I have from 1989.

This are the specs of my guitar: GRECO pre-Super Real EG-700 T tobacco´burst plaintop - mahogany pancake-body - solid 2pc maple top - 3pc maple-neck, slim ´60s profile, medium dowel-tenon - rio-fretboard with fret edge binding - no serial-# (GRECO started serial-#´s end of ´75 - early´76) - stamped Maxon-PUs, 2. Didgit indicates the year (5 = 1975). I think here in this 1975 catalog I found a pic of 'your' Greco: Some Grecos missed the fret-nibs and some came along with them. The Greco-crew took what they had to assemble the guitars. (For example: If there was no EG-500 -neck they took the EG-700 leftovers on a 500-model.) That sounds pretty weird, but is a fact. My lower-class ´81 GRECO Super Power EGC-500 shows nearly EVERY EGC-800 -fearture except the 2pc-top. Some EG-500 and most of the EG-700´s have fret edge binding.
