Yep, that looks like all it needs is a cleanup. Nice score.

Finally got around to stringing this Greco bird up with Chromes and giving her a tidy up. I've replaced the tarnished gold pickup rings with nickel rings, but the top hat reflector knobs I've ordered haven't arrived yet. After a truss rod tweak the action is nice - the neck is really good. Will take her along to rehearsal tonight to hear the pickups sing.

Will post a pic once the knobs arrive and the refurb is complete.

Quick update -this Greco is awesome.  I'll post a pic with the new knobs and nickel pickup rings on the weekend.  I'm doing a classic rock covers gig on Sunday with it.

I'm actually jealous of this one.  Can't wait to see her cleaned up.
