That can't be. AFAIK, all 320's and 325's are semi-hollow body. I don't know of any that were solid (including the JL's).

The wood is very thick in places that have not been carved out. It's possibly to drill pretty deep without penetrating the wooden face. I've never heard of a solid 320-series guitar, but the lack of a sound-hole can easily confuse people who are not familiar with Ricks.

The seller was kidding when he said he drilled into it. Look at the Q & A.

Anyone seeing one with an f-hole won't be fooled:

Hey. There are some solid body guitars in this configuration... But they're Grecos.

Maybe it's a Rick copy if it really is a solid body.

Do the Grecos have a set neck?

It's NOT a copy. That is a genuine 320. Let's not push the "COPY" button just because the seller is misinformed (that seems to happen a lot).

Mitch, Hey. Yes, the Greco 325s have set necks. There's one particular (made for Japan only, "higher end" model) Greco 325 copy that's scarey good -- spot on correct dimensions for everything. You don't see that one too often at all -- or, you may have seen it, and didn't know it was a Greco. That guitar -- that one model in particular -- makes the Rick obsession with "copy-suppression" make sense.
