About this listing
Offered here is a 1982 Greco EG59-100, an exceptional and increasingly hard-to-find “transition era” instrument from the overlap between the Super Real and early Mint Collection periods.This example features the desirable “open O” Greco logo, placing it right at the shift in production – a detail highly appreciated among collectors of high-end Fujigen-era instruments.Originally a top-tier model (100,000 yen), the EG59-100 represents Greco at its peak, built with a strong focus on vintage-correct construction and materials.Key features:Original DRY 82 pickups – widely regarded as some of the best PAF-style pickups to come out of JapanLong tenon neck jointFret edge binding (“nibs”)Mahogany body with maple topOne-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboardThin lacquer finishBuilt by Fujigen during the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturingCondition:The guitar is in very good vintage condition for its age (over 40 years old). It shows honest play wear, minor dings, and aging consistent with careful use. There is one visible mark/damage on the body (clearly shown in photos), purely cosmetic and with no impact on playability or structure.Originality:All original, including pickups and hardware.Playability & tone:Resonant, lively, and open-sounding with excellent note definition. The DRY 82 pickups deliver a classic PAF-style response – articulate, dynamic, and well-balanced across positions.This is not just another MIJ Les Paul-style guitar – it is a true transition-era piece from one of the most respected periods in Japanese guitar history, appealing equally to players and collectors.Non-original hard case included. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for additional photos.
