1977 Greco EG900 Vintage Guitar Burst Standard, Sunburst w/ USA Dimarzio PAFs, Japan Fujigen

$1,399.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1977 Greco EG900 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan, this “lawsuit era” Greco precedes the Super Real series of instruments, boasting premium features including a pair of USA-made DiMarzio PAF humbuckers.

Taking a page from Gibson's early 1970s playbook, tonewoods include a two-piece maple top over a sandwich mahogany body, and a three-piece mahogany neck capped with a dark rosewood fingerboard. At 10lbs 3oz, this Greco dishes out plenty of natural sustain and sonic authority, qualities that are translated faithfully through the Dimarzio PAF humbuckers. These pickups are rich and articulate, with growl and power in the bridge position, balanced by a present, smooth neck pickup. This EG900 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
