Up for sale, a 1990 Greco EG-600 Goldtop in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted as part of Greco’s EG Series, just after the Mint Collection era, this EG-600 was made concurrently with Gibson-licensed Orville production at the same factory, faithful to vintage Gibson spec.
Tonewoods include a carved maple top, mahogany body, mahogany neck with long neck tenon, and bound rosewood fretboard. The tonewood complement yields a lively and powerful sound with great sustain, qualities faithfully captured by the stock pair of “Screamin” PAF-style pickups. These humbuckers deliver a bevy of quintessential Les Paul tones: the bridge pickup has a complex and detailed sound, with a touch of growl, sweet mids, and rich, round bass response, and the neck humbucker delivers more girth and fullness. Weighing 9lbs 8oz, this EG-600 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Goldtop finish on top presents very cleanly, with just a few faint finish scratches and one small ding central to the lower bout. There are a number of nicks on the back and lower bout perimeter, and the neck profile retains its smooth gloss, with a few shallow marks on the profile length.
A faux leather padded gigbag is included.
