Up for sale is a Greco BM900. This is the first Red Special style guitar to be available for consumers, being offered as a special order model as part of their Project Series. Greco is one of the top Japanese guitar manufacturers from the "lawsuit" era of MIJ Japanese replicas, among brands such as Tokai and Burny.

The Red Special is Queen guitarist Brian May's homemade guitar. This Greco is modeled after that, with three single coil pickups, a red tortoise pickguard, and unique  double cutaway shape. This model was actually used as a stand in "stunt double" for Brian's guitar in some of their videos!

It's all original from what I can tell, except for the volume knob. Did not have the tremolo arm when I got it from Japan, though I have read a Fender bar will work [have not verified that]. Everything works great and it plays wonderfully, and is very lightweight and resonant.

The guitar has several dings and scratches on the body, but nothing major. No cracks, breaks, or repairs. Please see pictures for reference. It is in overall good shape for its age -- there is wear and tear cosmetically, but structurally and functionally it is solid. Will be packed safely and shipped in non original gig bag.

Please send any questions my way.
