Greco GOB 900 1977 Off-set Headstock RARE!
One of my personal favorite Greco models from this era.
This one is an earlier one from 1977, and has the intentionally offset headstock to improve balance and sustain. In later versions from 1979 they did away with that because the body is heavy anyway so balance was not really an issue.
Anyway this is super rare, and in B rank condition for the year.
It is fully functional and almost 100% original parts.
It needed headstock repairs due to a split (it looked like it may have been dropped), but that has been reset with a very strong epoxy glue, clamped, set and refinished and does not affect functionality at all. You can see the marks of the repair and where the split was, but they are not glaringly obvious.
The neck is very healthy despite that, and the dual action truss has hardly been turned and is set for minimal relief and a low action.
There are some dings and chips around the edges of the body, but they are not so bad, B rank for year as stated above.
Generally, it looks awesome, plays amazingly well and sounds fantastic!
