At age 13, my enthusiasm for rock music was sparkled by The Beatles. Maybe I already had my first acoustic guitar in Jan 1978, but I definitely needed Electric!! Yes, this is my first electric guitar, perhaps bought around the end of 1978 or Jan 1979.

At that time, the two-top popular shapes were already Stratocaster (Fender) and Les Paul (Gibson). I disliked popular and was attracted by SG (Gibson) but finally chose this Japan made Greco Telecaster Custom (Fender copy) model, simply because this shape was rare and could enjoy both sounds of single coil and humbucking on one guitar!! Later I realized this idea was “holy crap”, because soon my favorites shifted to Hard Rock, not Rolling Stones…

Changed plastic nut to brass because I needed more sustain. But no money for repair shop so I did it by myself. Decorated for reggae cover band at age 21 and it still remains.
