1974 Greco SA-500: The Mini 335 Gibson Didn't Make
A compact Japanese hollowbody with original Maxon pickups, built by the company that later made the Tube Screamer. Plus: is it really "the Van Halen sound"?
How the show works
Three spins of the wheel pick the brand, the decade, and the price range. I scroll the results, pick a guitar, and research it. Then we walk through every listing photo together.
I do a lot of the research with AI, which I call the Stringer. It checks multiple sources, flags what it can't confirm, and I keep a running log of facts so episodes stay consistent. It's not perfect, so if you catch a mistake, tell me. Corrections get logged publicly, with credit. Read how we research →
