Crafted at the Fujigen factory, this non-catalog Greco is an extremely rare, top-tier model only available via custom order, designed as a unique spin on a classic ‘Burst with premium features including a carved two-piece flame maple top, a three-piece flame maple neck with a ‘59-style chunky C profile carve and long tenon joint, an ebony fingerboard, Grover Rotomatic tuners, gold-plated hardware, and a pair of “DRY” humbuckers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing only 8lbs 15oz, this EG59-240 dishes out plenty of natural warmth, treble cut and sweet sustain, qualities faithfully captured by the “DRY” PAF-style humbuckers. Wound in-house at Fujigen and designed as a successor to the beloved Maxon-made Dry Z humbuckers (widely considered to be among the most faithful PAF recreations to ever come out of Japan), these pickups are rich, smooth, and warm. The bridge pickup has a rich growl and cut while retaining terrific low-mid breadth, and the neck is expansive and powerful without sacrificing articulation. This EG59-240 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Specs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Wood: Flame maple (three-piece)\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Chunky ‘59-style C, measuring .880” 1st fret, .995” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Ebony, mother of pearl flared trapezoid inlays\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-8\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 11\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Grover Rotomatics\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: 5-prefix (1985, inked)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Specs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Wood: Flame maple, Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: “DRY’” PAF-style humbucker x2 (“DRY” stickers still present on covers)\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: Untouched solder, Full-size Japanese pots date to September\/December, 1985\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: No-wire ABR-1-style bridge, stopbar\u003cbr\u003e-Plastics: One-ply cream pickguard, gold bonnet knobs \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark gloss Cherry Sunburst finish highlights the straight tiger flame figuring in the carved two-piece top, extending evenly from edge to edge.
