The story

This 1981 Japanese Greco PB-450 belongs to the Spacy Sound series. Its serial is B813142. The sen-ash body wears a sunburst polyester finish, with a maple neck and figured maple fingerboard.

A Greco / Maxon PU-P5 pickup and volume-and-tone controls make up the simple passive circuit. The solder joints show signs of earlier service and age, while no structural repairs were noted. It weighs 4.1 kg, was set up before sale, and went to Stockholm.
