Today, I got me this ES-335 model, (but true hollow) Greco SA-550, Fujigengakki S/N 17662##. Been searching for specs, but I'm afraid my japanese ain't good enough . Seems like Super 70's, 3-piece set neck, open book headstock with MOP Greco logo and G*bson crown, Solid maple top.

Can anyone give me more info?

The serial number probably starts with an "I" (signifying September), so the guitar was made in September of 1976. Here's a page from a 1977 Greco catalog. The SA550 is shown. Unfortunately, the text is in Japanese, but at least you have a catalog shot.

This is a great Greco catalog site. Here's the index link:

Petruz, no. The only Cimar catalogs I know of are off the Russian Ibanez site (I don't have the link with me at work) and I think there may be one or two at the Musik-Meinle.de site.

I just got an Ibanez 2454 off of eBay. It appears to be the same as your Greco.

Allmost, Acetan. Your 2454 appears to be the equivalent of the Greco SA-500. Check this link to Greco catalogue (thanks, Chuck!).

Hmm... The head stock in-laids, the neck in-laids, position of the three way switch, the pick guard... but then there is the different tail piece. Well, whatever.
