The series was available in a few different options of laminates giving completely different looks depending on weather dark or light timbers were used. It's an amazing construction and gives incredible sustain and high volume feedback with a neck heel that blends beautifully into the body. The solid body is constructed of three layers of stained ash and walnut with a through neck construction of seven pieces of rock maple and walnut. There was also a GOW1500 which was a 12/6 double neck.Įven though this GO700 was the "cheapest" in the line it was still a very considerable 70,000 yen in 1978, and with good reason. They were squarely aimed at professional working musicians and ranged from the GO700 to the GO1400 with brass hardware and full active electronics. The GO here was the first on the scene and was obviously heavily influenced by Alembic in the US in both design and construction.Ĭonstruction of these GO series was very high quality with multi laminated bodies and necks using all high quality timbers. There would eventually be a GO, GO II and GO III all in similar construction but in different double cutaway shapes and a GOB series for the bass models. ![]() ![]() These included the amazing BM900 along with others and included the GO series here which was introduced in 1977. In the mid 70's Greco started making guitars in a slightly more expensive market called the Project series. I've written a lot about how much I love the great Fugigen factory in Japan who made guitars for many brands including, along with Matsumoku, Greco guitars.
