Sign in to disble this ad
alright i dont really want to sign up for a guitar forum just for this one question but i was digging through my attic and i found this acoustic guitar and the brand name was Greco. I asked my my dad about it and he sad he bought it somewhere around 1974-77.The model number is GR 622K and the serial number is 30049. If anybody knows anything about this guitar or if its of any value can you let me know. Ill put up pictures if needed.

Greco was a pretty decent Japanese brand. Non-supporting members aren't allowed to ask about value. That said, it's not worth much unless it is in perfect condition and plays amazingly. Greco is considered "cool" by fans of vintage Japanese instruments, but that "cool" does not translate into much money.

Greco made some really great guitars in the 70s, but they also made a lot of low end budget models as well. Their electric copies of American instruments were stellar.

I had a Greco bass for my first bass as a kid. It looked like a Gibson 335 guitar, sunburst finish, semi-hollow body. Cost like $99 used. Played like hell.

I see them on ebay from time to time. You might want to check there.
