This is a very rare Greco GR973SP .

We have never seen this model before. The green burst is also very rare.

There are some paint cracks and small paint chips. There is nothing wrong with the body. It is glued tightly. This is a guitar that will probably not be available anymore.

Therefore, it is a little expensive.

Great shape guitar.

Guitar has been setup for playing！

Vintage tone!!!

If I saw Brian Jones playing that with the Rolling Stones I would have nodded knowingly and said "yeah, that works"...but that's probably the only time I would feel that way about it...

That has a quirky look that appeals to me. Although, I’ll bet it’s neck heavy.

I have to agree with Paul McCartney.

I'm way into the vibe. I bet it plays/sounds like a rubber band stretched across a tin can.

Had it been red rather then green it would have been perfect for some devil-worshipping fuzz-drenched proto garage.

There’s some potential in the body design but the rest of it sucks.

Good lord that’s hideous.

Seen worse but it's not for me.

I like it!

That's the only photo that appeals to me at all.

If it was tobaccoburst or heritage cherry I'd be all over it. That green is a hard sell though. I'd play it in a black and white shoot.

You know what, I still don't love the green finish, but I've come around to it a bit. It's not a dealbreaker. So I'll play it in Thee End Tymes, my imaginary 2 knob tonebender-fuzzed Nuggets style garage band.

I figure the green finish works for a cover of 'Green Fuz':
