🔥 1977 Greco EG-700 Cherry Sunburst – Lawsuit-Era Japanese Les Paul Beast!
Looking for classic Les Paul tone, feel, and vibe without the modern price tag? Meet this 1977 Greco EG-700 in rich cherry sunburst. Built in Japan during the legendary lawsuit era, this is a mid-to-upper tier model that still turns heads and delivers serious rock ‘n’ roll authority nearly 50 years later.
Crafted with the precision Fujigen and other top Japanese factories were famous for, it features a mahogany body with a solid carved maple top under a vibrant cherry sunburst finish that highlights the natural grain beautifully. The set neck (typically a slim, fast 60s-style profile) is paired with a bound rosewood fretboard, classic trapezoid inlays, and the kind of tidy fretwork that makes these early Grecos so player-friendly. Under the hood sit the original Greco/Maxon U-2000 humbuckers — warm, articulate PAF-style pickups that deliver clear highs, thick mids, and that unmistakable Les Paul crunch and sustain.
Condition is excellent for its age. You’ll find only a few light dings, dents, and surface scratches — honest wear that tells the story of a well-loved instrument while leaving the overall presentation clean and attractive. Nothing structural, nothing that affects the look from playing distance, and nothing that impacts the solid, resonant feel of this vintage single-cut.
Best of all, it’s been professionally set up and carefully dialed in for optimal tone and playability. Action is smooth, intonation is locked in, and the neck feels fast and comfortable right out of the gate. Plug it in and you’ll immediately understand why 1970s Greco EG models have such a strong following among players and collectors — they often rival or outperform many American instruments of the same era in consistency, resonance, and pure playability.
Whether you’re chasing authentic late-’70s Japanese craftsmanship, a reliable stage and studio workhorse with classic Les Paul voice, or simply a beautiful cherry-sunburst single-cut that punches above its weight, this 1977 Greco EG-700 is ready to rock.
Serious inquiries welcome — message for more photos and details. This lawsuit-era beauty is set up, sounding great, and waiting for its next owner!
These pre-serial FujiGen “lawsuit” models are getting harder to find every year, especially in this condition with original U-2000 pickups and that killer Iced Tea Burst. If you want a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like a vintage Les Paul at a fraction of the cost — one that will become your go-to for years to come — this is your unicorn.
Serious players only. Don’t pass on the chance to take this beauty home and make her yours.

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We offer a 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.
Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
