PRELOVED GRECO ER-180 – DARK GREEN
Good preloved condition.
The Greco ER-180 is a rare vintage Japanese semi-hollow electric guitar with plenty of character. Finished in a distinctive Dark Green, it captures the bold look and feel of Japan’s late-1960s guitar-building era.
Known examples of the ER-180 are generally dated to around 1968–1969 and were manufactured in Japan. The semi-hollow construction includes a centre block, giving the guitar natural resonance while helping control feedback at louder playing levels.
Vintage Japanese Character
The ER-180 features a double-cutaway semi-hollow body with bound F-holes and a vintage-style vibrato system. Its two-pickup configuration provides a versatile range of warm, rounded and cutting electric guitar sounds.
With its aged hardware, unusual finish and unmistakably vintage design, this is a guitar that stands apart from modern semi-hollow instruments.
