Up for sale, a 1978 Greco EG600 triple pickup LP Custom in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This expertly crafted Japanese guitar clearly takes its cues from its Gibson cousin (no relation), and while this Greco falls squarely under the umbrella of the famed "lawsuit" guitars in a general sense, no action was ever taken against Greco for these very faithful iterations.
Produced at the Fujigen factory prior to Greco's Super Real line of instruments, this EG600 has a distinctive look designed to capitalize on Ace Frehley's now iconic triple pickup Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Custom. The guitar features a "sandwich" mahogany body, laminate white sycamore arched top and flat back, and a trio of Maxon-made U-1000 humbuckers which deliver a great spin on the PAF tonal profile, metering in the upper 7k ohms range. These pickups boast ample harmonic content, great punch, and an overall full and rich tonal character, with plenty of bite and chime in the top end too. This Greco weighs 8lbs 3oz, benefitting from a professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with low action, accurate intonation and fresh 10-46 strings.
