Greco Singlecut Professional PE-480 1972 - Walnut

An early and rarely seen example from Greco’s high-end “Professional” line, this 1972 PE-480 is a stunning singlecut with refined craftsmanship and top-shelf appointments. Featuring a carved maple top over a chambered mahogany body, the guitar has exceptional acoustic liveliness, with a pair of humbuckers delivering articulate vintage-voiced tones rich in midrange warmth and top-end clarity. The Walnut finish showcases beautiful wood grain, accented by a bound top, fretboard, and headstock, with tasteful block inlays and a slick Greco-branded truss rod cover. The slim neck carve and low action make it a fast, inviting player, and the build quality is right up there with early '70s Gibsons.

This example is clean for its age, with all original hardware and electronics, and just a few small nicks and scuffs that add to its vintage charm. A total sleeper from the golden age of Japanese guitar-making, the PE-480 is a rare bird with tone and style to match.

This guitar is a great addition in anyone’s collection and with a fresh set up it is ready to go!
