USED GRECO / GOIII-1500 Natural Matte [20]

The GO series, which debuted as an original model in 1978, evolved through the GO II series and culminated in the GO III series as a professional model.
While there are variations—the 1800, 1500, 1300, and 700—based on different specifications, the GO III 1500 features a 7-piece maple/walnut neck with an ebony fingerboard and a through-neck design, as well as the Tree of Life inlay, which is exclusive to the 1500 model.
Although the catalog specifications list it as “maple arched,” this particular instrument features a three-layer body construction consisting of arched walnut (or padauk), a maple center, and a walnut (or padauk) back.
It features an H-S-H pickup configuration with a PU-3D humbucker and a PU-250 single-coil pickup, a 6-way rotary pickup selector switch, independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, and a master volume control on the 1st-string horn.
The rotary switch offers the following positions: Neck, Middle, Bridge, Neck+Middle, Middle+Bridge, and Neck+Bridge, allowing for a wide variety of sound shaping.
It is equipped with the original T.S. Vibrato bridge, which provides a unique vibrato effect.

* The neck shows signs of warping, which has been corrected through fret leveling.
The gold hardware shows some tarnish and minor rust, and the body has small dents and scratches, but considering its age, it is in relatively good condition.
