GRECO EG-420 - Vintage 1970s Les Paul Style (Gneco Logo Era)

Up for sale is a 1970s GRECO EG-420, a highly coveted piece of "Japan Vintage" history. This particular unit features the famous early-to-mid 70s "Gneco" script logo on the headstock. Known for their high build quality that challenged western manufacturers during the copy era, these MIJ instruments offer fantastic retro vibe and distinct sonic character.

The guitar features a bolt-on neck design with a classic Cherry Sunburst finish. It comes equipped with an original embossed "Greco" covered humbucker in the neck position and an open-coil zebra humbucker in the bridge. It delivers a wonderful, mature vintage resonance with crisp note attack and punchy midrange response.
