| 1994 Greco Clear Sound Project RG-120 1964 Rickenbacker 360-12 George Harrison Replica with OSC, Documents Sorry, this guitar is on HOLD for Jack B. |
I knew what this guitar was before I unzipped the gig bag, but I never expected to pull out a guitar of this
calibre. I know Grecos very well, especially their more rare hollow-body series dubbed the "Clear Sound
Project," which were only made from about 1983 through the mid-nineties. As you probably know, the
Japanese loved to clone guitars made famous by musicians they aspired to be like. The Ric replicas that
Greco made back then (Greco stopped making these many years ago) are, in my opinion, the absolute
best of all the Ric clones. This model was built with a trained eye and expert hands under the most
stringent of quality control standards. It would have listed for 120,000 yen back in 1994. The neck is
highly-lacquered and features Ric-size frets, set with perfectly-done binding. The tuners are the correct
kluson-style Grecos that work perfectly and the guitar has a straight neck and comes with it's original gig
bag as well as owner's warranty card. It is completely original, in Near Mint + condition and has no hidden
issues. It is one of the most fantastic instruments I have ever played, and certainly the finest example of
this model that would ever surface. This one would have been a shoo-in for the Japan Vintage magazine.
