This is a description of the guitar I purchased.
"This guitar was not an entry-level guitar in its day – the Greco line was Goya’s mid-priced offering, hand-built in Yugoslavia by Old World craftsmen. This guitar sold for $69.50 in 1965, which translates to about $470.00 in today’s dollars. Grand concert sized, 12 frets to the body. PLEASE NOTE: This guitar needs a little TLC before it is ready to rock. It could really benefit from new tuners, as the stock tuners are of low quality, and are quite difficult to turn. The guitar could also use a setup. It does not appear to need a neck reset - but I’m by no means an expert on luthiery. The guitar does have an adjustable truss rod. That said, this is a really cool guitar. It’s got an alpine spruce top, maple back and sides, possibly a Brazilian rosewood fretboard (hard to tell if it’s Brazilian or Indian, but Braz was still in common use back in 1965), lacquer finish, celluloid pickguard, nicely aged binding on the top and back, and a nice medium chunky neck that is very comfortable to play."
