Description
Did you know there is a pizza chain in Canada called 'GRECO'?
Anywho, late 1970s Greco 'Hofner' bootleg.
This is one of the nicer set-neck examples with a whimsical build quality that gets you close in likeness to the 'toylike' feel of the original German made instruments.
Plenty of oxidisation to the metal parts so you know you're playing something old.
Neck, truss and frets are good. Knobs are replaced with Jazz Bass style bits. Outside of that, the only real negative about this instrument in my eyes is the fact it's currently strung with round wound strings (these things are the ultimate flatwound thumper in my opinion).
