Established in 1960 as a proprietary brand of Kanda Shokai, Greco began selling electric guitars in 1963.
In 1971, the company released the "EG-360," a Les Paul copy model that became a massive hit, becoming a pioneer in the domestic copy model market.
Subsequently, the company produced even more precise replica models, such as the “Super Real Series” and “Mint Collection.”
Furthermore, moving beyond replica models, in 1977 the company released the “GO Series,” an original line developed in collaboration with Takami Asano, guitarist for the band Godiego.
Today, the company offers a wide range of products, from affordable models to reissues of original 1980s models.

Greco is undoubtedly one of the brands that has supported the history of Japanese electric guitars since its dawn.
From the 1970s models—released at a time when replication accuracy was still low and which reveal traces of trial and error—to the 1980s models that came as close as possible to perfect reproduction, the dedication of Japanese craftsmen is evident in each one.
Furthermore, the “GO Series”—developed by incorporating feedback from professional artists from an early stage—incorporates the trends of the time while using original parts, resulting in a truly unique style.

The fact that Kanda Shokai and Japanese craftsmen have pooled their wisdom and skills to create these instruments is one of the reasons Greco continues to captivate people.

Each Greco model has its own distinct sound character.
Original models like the GO Series, which feature active circuits, possess a so-called high-end tone characterized by rich sustain and a tight, focused sound.
On the other hand, models like the EG Series offer a traditional sound that is warm yet clearly defined.
What they all have in common is a sense of sonic spaciousness characteristic of Japanese-made instruments.
This is the true essence of the Greco sound.

Even today, the second-hand market offers a wide range of Greco guitars, from models with excellent value for money to high-end models, making Greco one of the Japanese brands with the most extensive selection.
In particular, the value-for-money models EG-500 and SE-500 are recommended as traditional models that are easy to handle, even for beginners just starting out on guitar.
Since the EG series underwent a specification change in 1982, those who want to experience the passion behind Japanese guitar copies from that era should consider checking out the "Mint Collection" models from 1982 onward.
Additionally, if you want to experience Greco’s craftsmanship and attention to detail, as well as Fuji Gakki’s advanced technical expertise, we recommend the GO Series, which is a line of original models.
Featuring a unique style with proprietary parts, you can enjoy a sound that reflects the trends of that era.
