The Greco SG-360 appeared in 1974 and succeeded the SG-300. Before 1976, it was equipped with Maxon “Jazz Rock” humbuckers also known as U-500. From 1976, Maxon U-1000 will replace them. While the SG-300 has a neck with 21 frets, the SG-360 has a neck with 22 frets. This model, manufactured by Matsumoku, does not have a serial number, but the pickups are dated January 1973.
On the neck plate is engraved “Matsumoku, Made in Japan“, without serial number, as in the early 70’s.
It’s really a typical SG from the late 60’s, a Jazz-Rock guitar. Simply plug it into an overdrive (a TS-808 for example) and the Angus tone will come out of your 4×12 cab.

The pictured Greco above is not an sg 300 but an sg360 as evident by the number of block inlays above the 12th fret. The sg 300 only has two after the 12th, the sg 360 has 3
Hi Christopher, you’re right. The post was modified according to the guitar model. Thanks for your input.
