The zero fret and thin neck is reminiscent of a Mosrite.

Tuners are the same as the Teisco Spectrum 5 of that period, and the Neck-plate had the L shaped pickup patent number stamped on it.

Diamond shape sound holes, rectangular shape fretboard inlays with headstock truss adjustment. These are very attractive and well made guitars. Standard pickup models had the common 2 volume, 2 tone pot controls and toggle switch for the two pickups. The models with standard pickups were not called “Shrike” models. These were initially available only in the Shrike version, and later a more conventional 2 standard pickup version appeared. The 975 model and its 12 string brother the 976 model were the top of the line imported Grecos in 1968. So you could switch between high and low strings on the pickups. The Shrikes had a single volume pot and a group of slide switches to control the 4 split coil pickups in the 2 L shaped enclosures. The “Shrike” pickups were advertised as producing that distinctive “Shrike” sound. Those models with the Boomerang “L” shaped split coil pickups were called “Shrike” models.

A 12 string version for both bodystyles were available as well, and were labeled models 960 and 976 respectively.

Among the Electric guitar models that Greco offered during this period, were two thin semi-hollow bodystyle that were equipped with the Patented “Shrike” pickups. Prior to that, Goya sold Electric guitars made by Hagstrom. The Japanese made Greco guitars were initially being distributed in the US through Goya and later by Kustom (known for their amps).
