1976 Greco RG-550 (Rickenbacker 480 Clone)

This Greco RG-550 dated November 1976, is an incredibly rare and well-executed clone of the iconic Rickenbacker 480, blending vintage aesthetics with exceptional build quality. Featuring a distinct double-cut body design, dual "toaster-style" pickups, and a bolt-on neck, this guitar faithfully replicates the unmistakable Rickenbacker vibe while offering its unique tonal character. The addition of a genuine Rickenbacker truss rod cover adds a touch of authenticity, making this a fantastic option for fans of vintage-style guitars with a twist.

Sonically, the RG-550 delivers chimey, articulate tones reminiscent of its inspiration, making it perfect for jangly rhythm work or soaring lead lines.
