1982 Greco EG59-50 – A Vintage Japanese Gem with Screamin’ Tone!

Step into the golden era of Japanese craftsmanship with this stunning 1982 Greco EG59-50, a Les Paul-inspired masterpiece that delivers iconic tone, timeless style, and impeccable build quality. This guitar is a rare find, blending vintage vibe with modern playability, ready to ignite your creativity and elevate your sound. Whether you’re a collector, a gigging musician, or a tone chaser, this Greco is your ticket to classic rock glory!

This EG59-50 boasts a sleek, solid mahogany body with a two-piece maple top, delivering that rich, resonant warmth Les Pauls are known for. Its vibrant sunburst finish showcases the character of the grain in the maple, catching the light with every angle. The mahogany neck, set with a long tenon for enhanced sustain, features a smooth, medium C-profile that feels like an old friend in your hands—perfect for everything from soulful bends to blistering leads. The rosewood fretboard, adorned with block inlays and a 12” radius, offers effortless playability, while the 24.75” scale length ensures that classic Gibson-esque feel. At approximately 9.7 lbs, this guitar strikes the perfect balance of heft and comfort, resonating with every note you play.

The hardware screams vintage authenticity: an ABR-1 style bridge for precise intonation, vintage-style tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, and a lightweight aluminum stop tailpiece for that extra touch of sustain and clarity. Freshly polished frets and a professionally set-up neck with a responsive truss rod make this Greco stage-ready, strung with 10-42 nickel strings for that perfect slinky feel.

Screamin’ 1982 Pickups: PAF Tone with a Fiery Edge

At the heart of this EG59-50 lies a pair of Greco’s legendary “Screamin’ 1982” humbucker pickups, crafted to capture the soul of vintage PAFs with a modern twist. These pickups, often made by Fujigen (post-1981) or occasionally Maxon in early 1982 models, feature ceramic magnets (though some speculate Alnico in rare cases) and measure around 7.5-11k ohms, delivering a hot, punchy output that’s ideal for classic rock, blues, and even early metal tones. Expect woody, open overtones with a fat midrange and a touch of grit—perfect for nailing those Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, or Duane Allman vibes. The neck pickup (around 7.5k ohms) offers warm, creamy cleans and soulful leads, while the bridge (up to 11k ohms) bites with articulate highs and a tight low-end, cutting through any mix. Some players note a slightly sharper or hotter character compared to Alnico-based PAFs, but roll back the tone knob, and these Screamin’ 82s sing with vintage clarity and sustain that rivals pricier boutique pickups. Wax-potted for feedback-free performance, they’re versatile enough for clean jazz runs or cranked AC/DC riffs.

Condition: Player Friendly with Tons of Mojo

This 1982 EG59-50 is in nice, player friendly condition for its 44+ years, with moderate playwear. (see pics)

Greco’s Quality and History: A Legacy of Excellence

Greco, a brand under Kanda Shokai since 1960, is synonymous with Japanese precision and passion for replicating iconic American designs. By the late 1970s, Greco’s “Super Real Series” (1979-1982) set a benchmark for high-quality Gibson and Fender replicas, often rivaling or surpassing their American counterparts in craftsmanship. The 1982 EG59-50 hails from the “Mint Collection Series” (1982-early 1990s), which continued this tradition with refined features like long-tenon necks, high-quality rosewood fretboards, and attention to detail that earned praise from players like Ace Frehley and Elliot Easton. Built primarily by FujiGen Gakki, with some models from Matsumoku or Cor-Tek, Greco guitars from this era used top-tier materials—mahogany bodies, maple tops, and Indian rosewood fretboards—paired with innovative pickups like the Screamin’ 1982 or Dry Z, designed to emulate vintage PAFs. After FujiGen acquired Maxon’s pickup division in 1981, Greco’s in-house pickups maintained their reputation for tonal excellence. Known for their durability and playability, these guitars remain highly sought-after by collectors and musicians for their unbeatable value and authentic vintage vibe. Own a piece of this storied legacy with the EG59-50—a guitar that embodies Greco’s golden age.
