They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery... Here is a "Golden" Greco EG modeled after the classic Gibson Les Paul. This one, however, is designed to keep your wallets in check without substituting high quality and sound. Careful attention to detail was paid while designing this guitar and the luthiers did a fine job at reproducing the feel and tone that gave vintage Gibson LPs their legendary status. The craftsmanship is apparent with the combination of tone and playability that is a true homage to the classic look, sound and feel of the timeless beauties coming out of Kalamazoo in the late 1950's. Bring this beauty home and add some sick mojo to your arsenal. This guitar boasts a tobacco sunburst finish. It is in good cosmetic with playwear that includes some dings, dents, scuffs and scratches, mainly along the the back (Please see pictures). As with any pre-owned instrument, there are bound to be bruises and bumps, but overall, this guitar is in very good shape. None of these imperfections affect the playability or sound. This guitar has been professionally setup and is simply waiting for the perfect musician to pick her up and take her on a musical adventure.

If you are in search of guitar that has all the characteristics and appeal of an older Gibson LP at a fraction of the cost, then you need to give a close look to this Greco...she is sure to not disappoint!


The 1980 Greco EG-500T was a high-end "Super Real" series Les Paul copy known for its quality construction and components. Key features included a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a one-piece mahogany neck, and PAF style pickups. 

Body

  • Body style: Single cutaway, solid body, modeled after a Les Paul Standard.
  • Body material: Three-piece maple top over a solid mahogany back. The "T" in the model number may indicate a tobacco burst finish. 

Neck

  • Neck material: mahogany.
  • Neck profile: Often described as a comfortable, slim profile, similar to a '60s Gibson.
  • Fretboard: Rosewood, sometimes Indian rosewood, with fret-edge binding. Early models could have an ebony fretboard, but this is less common for 1980.
  • Inlays: Mother of Pearl dish inlays.
  • Headstock: Open-book style with a pearloid Greco logo.
  • Scale length: 24.75 inches (628mm), consistent with a Les Paul. 

Hardware and electronics

  • Pickups: PAF style humbuckers.
  • Controls: Two volume and two tone knobs with a three-way toggle switch.
  • Tuners: Greco-branded tuners
  • Bridge: Nashville-style Tune-o-matic bridge with a stopbar tailpiece.
  • Other hardware: Cream-colored plastic parts, including pickup rings and pickguard. 

General details

  • Construction: High-quality, Japanese-made vintage instrument from the "Super Real" era of Greco production.
  • Factory: Built at the renowned Fujigen factory.
  • Finishes: Common finishes included Tobacco Burst.
  • Serial number: Typically follows a format where the first digit indicates the year of production, though other serial formats also exist for Greco instruments. 

It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has spot on intonation, low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
