Here is a RARELY seen Greco Black Beauty reissue . They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery... Here is a vintage Greco EGC57-70 modeled after the classic 1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom. The fine luthiers at the Fujigen plant in Japan paid careful attention to detail while designing this guitar, and the Greco "Mint Collection" excels at reproducing the feel and tone that gave vintage Gibson LPs their legendary status. The exquisite craftsmanship along with a trio of mojo infused Maxon "Screamin PAF" pickups, extra long neck tenon and solid mahogany body & top deliver an amazing 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. Here is a truly great playing and sounding Custom at a fraction of the price. Bring this beauty home and add some sick mojo to your arsenal. This guitar is in very good cosmetic condition but does show some normal play-wear. There are just a few little dings, dents, light surface scratches, and buckle marks, allowing you to jam worry free. Nothing affecting the playability and merely small cosmetic love marks. As soon as you set eyes on this "black beauty" you can't help but feel the vintage mojo oozing out. The black finish,  gold hardware and cream binding are the perfect combination for a classic vintage style. The deep, rich rosewood fretboard has quadrilateral mother of pearl inlays at each fret marker adding just the right amount of contrast to the rest of the design.

If you are in search of guitar that has all the characteristics and appeal of a '57 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!
