Greco SS series
this is the Greco SS60 / SS63-50 series i think (cmiiw). i love the vintage japannese woods, best choice if we want a guitar with a different brand than gibson anyway. sad to hear they've been discontinued.

In the "Jeff Tweedy Rig Rundown" video by Premier Guitar, it is confirmed that Jeff Tweedy uses a Greco SG, as discussed starting at the 10:46 mark.
According to the Guitar.com's gear list located at the end of the interview, Knight uses 1986 Greco SG.
Durante los primeros y casi desconocidos años de la formación de UHU Helicopter/Nacha Pop a finales de los 70, Nacho G. Vega utilizó una guitarra eléctrica con el aspecto de una Gibson SG con un puente de tipo Bigsby pero donde no se puede leer el nombre de la empresa, lo cual delata que se trate de una imitación. Si bien podría tratarse de la implementación de un puente de palanca a una Gibson original, este tiene el aspecto característico de la empresa japonesa Greco, dato que delata al instrumento, tratándose este de una imitación de Gibson SG, la Greco SG-400T, una de las primeras copias de Gibson Sg producidas en Japón en la década de los 70.
