wow, this early Greco from the mid-60s looks like it's copying a
Framus Strato Deluxe, of all things.

Some Framuses:
this one has the dual straight pickups but I think it's been modified.

ooh, that first one is lovely.
not sure the dual pickup framus above has been modded (unless you know something i don't), they did seem to make endless varieties of those strato deluxes. i've only seen one other exactly the same as mine.

I like everything in this thread but that Greco is incredible.

That red one was for sale on eBay Uk. I remember thinking it was really clean and had such a cool color.

Maybe I'm just not buying into the whole design aesthetic thing but that headstock is bloody hideous.

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.
luv both those d00dz
