Straying further from the path of enlightenment - 1976 Greco

We all know it, everyone goes Tele if they become old enough. Some of you may have seen my 1983 Squier Japan Tele Custom. I love it deeply and it's a lifetime keeper. But I wondered - were all the Fujigen Teles that good?
Now I am 2 for 2:
October 1976 Greco Spacey Sounds Tele Thinline copy. Maple neck, sen body. Excellent condition, neck is divine like the Squier, pickups sound quite amazing (like a Jazzmaster in the middle position) and although I need to shim it to get the action where I want it, I'm in love.
Pickups are interesting - they're not like the Tele Custom's humbucker, although they look the same on the front they are different on the back. And they sure sound different. And oddly, a PAT PEND stamp on them.
Yeah so this one's a keeper too.
