Its a classic just the same. Its a import into Australia, by someone, this was not sold here originally Captain Ibanez Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2005 - 4:44 pm:    Thers a Custom Agent on trhat site also with a Electra name plate on it.

I know, it doesn't make much sense. Some models were EXACTLY the same as Ibanez guitars, but they also have their own designs that they've stuck with over the years. The really cool thing is that there are many more setneck LPs with the Greco name than there are with Ibanez. That means that you can get VERY good LP replicas (Tokai Love Rock or better quality), if you want to go with Greco. But the rarity of the Ibanez setnecks will also mean they carry a premium. BTW, setneck Greco LPS are NOT cheap!

I'd put it up against any Gibson. Greco pickups are exact Paf copies down to the last wrap of copper.
