This post is in Honor of one of the greatest guitar builders of all time Mr. Carlo Greco. We all know he made Amazing and Unique Guitars both for Guild and Later under his own Namesake. One of his most Famous creations was the F612 18" lower bout Jumbo 12 string made Famous by a number of Artists over the years but primarily by John Denver. The F612s are extremely rare and very few survive to this day but I as well as a few members here have the privilege of owning one.
Recently I got the opportunity to purchase a 1978 Carlo Greco Custom 18" jumbo with some serious Guild DNA to my collection. The details are in the NGD post for the Greco in this section of the forum. I just thought it was time these two Amazing instruments and works of art created by Mr. Greco got a chance to meet each other in person. I took a few photos to honor the occasion and for everyone to enjoy. It is hard to deny the similarities between the two guitars when you look at the photos. Being that Carlo mentions he had the same stash of wood that he primarily used for the guitars he built over 50 years it is pretty cool to look at the RW backs and see some similarities. He even has the same number of fret inlays in the same positions.
Now, On to the photos. Sorry for the finger prints but guitars get played in my house, LOL!
