Greco Les Paul Standard from 1978. Genuine lawsuit era...seems to be an EG800GS or EG900GS model (I'm not an expert on vintage Japanese guitars). Pre Super Real and only just. Pots, pickup & headstock all serial dated to 1978. Very rare. It's high end, plays like a dream and sounds great...hard to find this good. All electrics working perfectly with no noise. Solid mahogany with maple cap. Gold nitrocellulose finish (seems to be brass powder type as used by Gibson) and is showing it's age with nicks, wear, checking and the odd ding......more wear around rear edges. Non weight relieved and still only about 9.5 lbs so not a boat anchor. 60's type neck medium profile I'd say. Low action and beautiful to play.Rosewood board with trapezoid inlays. I think these are medium tenon with dowel reinforcement which is as good as long tenon? Pickups are original Maxons and sound fantastic. They are pre Dry. Has been professionally re-fretted and very little wear if any with a brass nut. Professional set up with ow action. Fast neck. Tuners were changed at some stage for some reason but originals look like they were re-fitted and are excellent so no idea why that might've been done.Hard case included.Any questions or more pictures...please ask and thanks for looking.Buyer responsible for paying shipping and customs duty (should it be applicable in your country) - so please check before buying (please enquire for any assistance needed in valuation for shipping).
