Greco is one of Japan's pioneering guitar brands, with a history that dates back to the early days of Japanese guitar manufacturing.
The brand continues to produce instruments today and has earned an excellent reputation for its consistently high quality.
This instrument is the BG-1400, a limited-edition model built in 2013 that faithfully revives Greco's original BG model, first introduced in 1979, using modern manufacturing techniques.
While retaining the original's distinctive body shape and reverse headstock, the BG-1400 features numerous refinements that enhance both playability and practicality for today's players.
Manufactured in Japan, only 112 units were produced in 2013, making this an exceptionally rare model.
The guitar features a mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard.
Its set-neck construction, 24.75-inch scale length, and 22-fret configuration provide a familiar Gibson-style playing experience.
The most distinctive feature is its trio of original Blade Gang pickups.
These unique single-coil pickups utilize bar-style pole pieces and deliver a surprisingly powerful output, producing a bold and highly distinctive tonal character.
In addition, the Coil-Tap Balancer control allows the center pickup to be smoothly blended into the bridge pickup, offering an impressive range of tones—from the articulate clarity of a traditional single coil to a thick, humbucker-like sound with reduced noise.
The reverse headstock features a 14-degree headstock angle, optimizing string tension across all six strings for improved playing feel and response.
Maintenance is also enhanced by a truss rod adjustment system accessible from the body end of the neck, which improves serviceability while maintaining headstock strength.
With its one-of-a-kind design and outstanding craftsmanship, the BG-1400 is an essential model in the history of Greco's original designs.
It is a highly collectible Japanese-made guitar that offers meticulous craftsmanship and a truly unique sound.
