Description

 Note: Guitar back has some belt buckle scratches. Awesome sounding and playing guitar 

  • The MR series was Greco’s first original shape range, launched in 1975 as a collaboration with Mick Ralphs of Bad Company and Mott the Hoople

  • Catalog entries from 1976 and 1977 reference the MR‑800 as part of this tribute model line

  • Body: Maple top with sen (Ash) back

  • Neck: Typically three‑piece maple with a rosewood or ebony fingerboard

  • 24 frets allowing extended range access

  • Dual humbuckers—Greco PU‑0 or Maxon U‑2000 pickups that deliver rich, detailed tone

  • Wraparound bridge and simple control layout (Vol/Tone knobs + 3‑way switch)

  • Slick craftsmanship, including a comfortable contoured heel for upper fret access

  • While the series debuted in 1975, most surviving examples are dated between 1976 and 1978

  • Limited distribution—mainly in Japan—and signature association with Ralphs, Ace Frehley, and Paul Stanley make them quite collectible
