The Story

1967 950 'The Shrike' Guitar Sunburst

One of the coolest guitar designs to come out of Japan in the 1960s, this is a 1967 Greco 950 also known as 'The Strike'. The guitar has a sunburst finish over its maple semi-hollow body, a bolt-on neck construction and the signature "V" shaped pickups that the Shrike is known for. The guitar is in overall good to very good condition: its currently tuned to pitch however the D-string tuner slips and is in need of replacement. We're leaving that to the discretion of the buyer should you want to replace the vintage parts. It includes a modern hardshell case.
