1974 Greco EG650N Vintage Guitar, Mahogany w/ Maple Board & Maxon U-1000 Humbuckers, Japan Fujigen

Up for sale, a 1974 Greco EG650N in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Unique both visually and sonically, this rare “lawsuit era” LP-style instrument was crafted at the famed Fujigen factory in Japan, featuring a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and bound maple fingerboard with black block inlays.

Weighing 8lbs 3oz, the tonewood complement provides an abundance of warmth and articulation, with the smooth growl of mahogany and inherent treble attack and detail of maple. The Maxon-made zebra bobbin U-1000 humbuckers offer a complex, harmonically rich upper-midrange, with plenty of treble cut and sweetness in the bridge position and a thicker, punchy sound at the neck. This EG650N has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
