In the mid/late 1960s, Kanda Shokai also exported some Greco-branded guitars based on Hagström and EKO designs for Avnet/Goya in the USA. Originally, Kanda Shokai used the 'Greco' brand name for the solid body models and used the 'Canda' brand name for its Acoustic models, basing this on the company name Kanda (Canda). It was not until 1966/1967 that Kanda Shokai began marketing Greco Telecaster-like models. Kanda Shokai was established in 1948 and the Greco brand name was started in 1960. Instruments manufactured with the name "Greco" are electric and acoustic guitars. Greco ( Japanese: グレコ Gureko) is a Japanese guitar brand owned by the Kanda Shokai Corporation (in Japanese) 神田商会, a musical instrument wholesaler mostly known for being part of Fender Japan.
