🔥 Circa 1979-1980 Greco EG 1000 C Cherry Sunburst – MOJO Packed Legend! 🔥
Step into pure Japanese vintage excellence with this stunning Greco EG 1000 C — a Fujigen-built masterpiece from the golden late ‘70s / early ‘80s era when Greco was making some of the finest Les Paul-style guitars on the planet.
Finished in a rich, deep and tastefully/naturally aged Cherry Sunburst that glows with warmth and character, this EG 1000 C captures that classic burst beauty with incredible depth and flame-like figuring under the finish. Made by the renowned Fujigen factory, this guitar is known among tone chasers for its outstanding build quality, resonant tone, and playability that often rivals (and sometimes exceeds) its American counterparts from the same period.
In excellent condition for its 45+ year age, it shows honest light play wear including a few dings and scratches on the back — nothing excessive, just the natural battle scars of a well-loved instrument that’s been making music for decades. The binding, hardware, and overall presentation remain strong and classy.
This Greco has been professionally set up and meticulously dialed in for optimal tone and playability. The neck feels fantastic, the frets are in great shape, and the electronics deliver that fat, singing humbucker tone with superb sustain, clarity, and dynamics. Plug it in and you’ll instantly hear why these Fujigen Grecos have such a devoted following.

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 all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 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.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & 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 business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, 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. 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 and avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. Contact us for a personalized quote.
