No longer will “lawsuit” models of exact Gibson and Fender clones be made by Greco. After that, the pressure to “cease and desist” production of copyright-infringing designs took its toll on Greco and they decided to change their headstocks and logos to avoid a confrontation with the American manufacturers. Greco still retained the business of selling great Gibson clones and other brand knockoffs of extraordinary high quality up until 1989. By 1982, Greco Stratocasters became Fender JV Stratocasters, then later MIJ and CIJ Stratocasters, made by the same guys who made the Greco "Sparkle Sound," "Spacey Sound," "Sparkle Sound," and "Super Real" Stratocasters from 1977-1981. Eventually, as the company found that the demand for their popular replicas grew and that the size of the production was getting too large, they relinquished their Stratocaster division to Fender Japan in late 1981. They beat Tokai to the lawsuit race by at least 5 years. Also, Greco made more clone models of original Fenders, Gibson’s, Rickenbacker’s, Gretsch’ s, Zemaiti’s, lbanez, and other brands, than all other companies combined. At first, they didn't have the hardware to make really good, exact replicas, but by 1974 or so, they had the correct-style hardware to match their excellent craftsmanship, and they put out some killer replicas. Most of the 1960's guitars were original models, but in the early 1970's, they got into making replicas of original Fenders and Gibson’s. They have been making guitars since the early 1960's at the FijugenGakki plant. Greco Guitars: Greco is one of the earliest “lawsuit” guitar makers in Japan.
