Product Overview
Vintage Early 1970s Greco Jazz Bass - Matsumoku MIJ - Non-Serial

As a non-serial model, it dates back to the early "Lawsuit Era" (approx. 1971-1974), making it a highly collectible piece of Japanese guitar history. It features early specs such as the old spiral-type bridge saddles and brass control knobs, along with a beautiful 3-tone sunburst finish with body binding.
