This immaculate SE-600 is an example of what guitars were built by Fujigen as a result of the "Order Made Guitar Manual" - basically a Custom Shop for Grecos where precise specs could be opted for and a perfect guitar for someone delivered. Complete with the build certificate, H763702 was ordered with the SE-600 as a basis, but upgraded with the earliest iteration of the PU-119 Excel pick-ups. These pick-ups were very expensive options - they were fitted to the SE-1000 Project Series and became standard fitment for the premium SE-700 2 years later, these being F-spaced and standard Fender sized. This 1976 guitar has a PU-119 Excel in the classic Maxon size.
 
Complete with the tremolo arm and cover, original strap and case, this SE-600 is in incredible condition and plays like a dream. Even before plugging in, you'll likely spend 20 minutes playing it acoustically and enjoy that ring we usually only experience in mega-bucks high end guitars costing many times more than this one will.
 
When you eventually switch the amp on, the Excel pick-ups will deliver the clarity and power they are so well known for. The traditional Maxon brightness is now accompanied by a fuller low end and easing up the gain will provide a proper snarl if you want it. The 3 way switch and judicious use of the tone controls provide plenty of tonal variety - the lack of parallel options doesn't seem to matter although as with all DM-30 switches, the in-between settings can be fished for and found.
 
Guitars of this vintage and specification are extremely rare - this is a fantastic example and ready for another 50 years of service.
