1981 Greco SE380 Stratocaster – Vintage Japan “Super Real” Era
This 1981 Greco SE380 Stratocaster was built during the highly acclaimed “Super Real” era of Japanese guitar craftsmanship — a time when Greco produced some of the world’s finest Stratocaster replicas.
Although the SE380 was positioned as an entry-level model at the time, its build quality and attention to detail rival higher-end instruments. Modeled after the legendary ’54 Stratocaster, it features a solid sen (Japanese ash) body, a one-piece maple neck, and a 3-way pickup selector. The sound delivers a quick, responsive attack with a clear tonal image and a rich, resonant low end.
