In the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the so-called “lawsuit era,” Greco’s guitars gained a strong reputation, particularly their Les Paul and Stratocaster-style models, which were nearly identical to Gibson and Fender instruments. Many Greco guitars from this period were built by Fujigen, the factory that later produced Fender Japan instruments.
