Up for sale, a 1982 Greco Super Real Custom model EGC68-50 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted at the Fujigen factory during the “lawsuit” era of Japanese guitar production, this Greco was produced at the intersection of Super Real and Mint Collection branding, with component codes and serialization spanning late 1981 and early ‘82.
A clear response to the ‘68 Les Paul Custom, the EGC68-50 features a carved maple cap on a mahogany body, mahogany neck with a long neck tenon and a rosewood fretboard. Weighing 9lbs 9oz, this EGC68-50 dishes out plenty of natural warmth and resonance, qualities faithfully captured by the Maxon-made humbuckers. Some of the very last Maxon pickups used by Greco before pickup winding was brought in-house at Fujigen, these pickups deliver a great array of traditional Les Paul-style sounds. The bridge position has a rich growl and cut with great note attack and harmonic complexity, while the neck pickup is fat and round. This Greco has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
