My vintage Greco "Thunderbird". She has plenty of cosmetic wear, but plays and sounds amazing. Just 8.1 lbs, super straight neck and nice low action. The tone is simply to die for. A previous owner had moved the strap buttons a couple of times and I put them where I read is best at preventing neck dive. She dives a little, but it's not severe at all (you get some lev of dive on all T-birds from my experience).
Couple other things to note. She came to me with no truss rod cover. I looked and looked for a Greco cover and could not find one. A Gibson cover popped-up so I grabbed it. The holes don't exactly like up so I only used one of the screw holes and tightened the screw down. The cover doesn't move. I also put the sticker on the pickguard which will peel right off. There is a worn (barely visible) Thunderbird logo under the sticker which is stock from Greco. The strap buttons are dual-purpose Dunlop strap locks (that also work as regular buttons too).
These typically sell on the used market from $750-$1,100ish (which is a bit crazy in my opinion, but people love and pay dearly for them). I don't have a case or GB for her, but ones for Gibby Thirds are readily available at plenty of stores online. Just $645 and split shipping for a quick sale!
