1984 Greco Japan GTX-55 “Tusk” Explorer (Ferrari Red)

I genuinely mean this (as the owner of a guitar shop and collector of oddball Japanese guitars), the Greco Tusk models are my favourite series of guitars from the 1980’s. Designed around Greco’s “Sky Diver” tremolo system, it’s essentially a headless compact Explorer/Destroyer that still has an obsolete pointy headstock.

Designed to appeal to both New Wave and Metal fans, this GTX-55 wears a Ferrari Red finish and is loaded with a pair of “Dry” humbuckers. Full 648mm scale length with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, it weighs a nimble 3kg’s.

Good overall condition as pictured with some basic wear and a few chips on the horns, received a restring prior to listing so it plays smooth with a straight neck, shiny frets and a fully functional truss rod.
