On impulse bought this hollowbody

[Bigwave]

Well I was following a Mosrite Celebrity auction over the weekend, since deciding to add a hollowbody, but I ended up buying this wild looking hollowbody, after the Celebrity auction closed. Had a zero fret, like a mosrite, so on impulse I bought it. 1968 Greco Shrike. Sure looks cool, but sure hope it sounds good as well. Should arrive next week

Anyone know anything about them?? Not much on the internet about this guitar other than a catalog page listing the guitar in 1968 at $149.50 and saying it had that unique Fabulous "SHRIKE" sound.

Can't wait to here the review of this one. It's pretty wild looking!

I've heard of Greco, but never Shrike.

Looks pretty cool though.
Check out those pick ups!!!

Whoa! Pretty cool. It'd be interesting to hear how those pup's sound.

[FritzCat]

I hope it works, those pickups are almost impossible to find.

Google Firstman Baron and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Nice! And congrats ... Those p'ups DO look interesting. Wonder if there are 2 under each cover? Looks to be in great condition. Nice score.

Wild! Congrats!

Very cool...the horns look a bit 'Rickenbackerish' to me (nice!) and those outrageously unique pickup shapes must be the closest so far to horseshoe magnet pickups which, so far, I've never seen on a guitar... either
Congrats and have lots of fun with it when it arrives.

i've got a green sunburst like that.if the pickups break, they are just 2 single coils inside!
