c. 1974-1976 Greco TE-350 Ivory White - MIJ Japan Vintage, Pre-Serial Era
An early Greco TE-series electric guitar in Ivory White, built in Japan before Greco began using serial numbers. It wears honest, well-earned playwear and plenty of vintage mojo, with a maple neck and maple fingerboard.
Greco was the domestic brand of Kanda Shokai, one of the companies that later took part in the founding of Fender Japan. Greco began stamping serial numbers around 1975, and this example has none on the headstock or neck plate, which points to the early pre-serial period. The TE350 appears in Greco's 1974 and 1976 catalogs. There is no model stamp on the guitar itself; the model is as identified by our workshop.
