1976 Greco EG-420 Les Paul Type - Cherry Sunburst, Made in Japan

A genuine Japan-vintage single-cutaway from Greco, built in February 1976 and finished in cherry sunburst over a flame-figured top. This is an example of the early EG series, which used bolt-on neck construction before Greco moved to the set-neck designs of the late 1970s.

The EG-420 sits in the early chapter of Greco's Les Paul-style line, following the EG-360, and these early EG models are recognised by their laminated figured tops and bolt-on necks. The dating on this particular guitar is straightforward: Greco's serial format of this period uses a month letter, the last two digits of the year, and a production number, so "B762124" reads as February 1976. The neck plate is stamped "MADE IN JAPAN", the truss rod cover is marked "Custom", and the tuners still carry the "GRECO GUITAR" stamp on the back.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
Early bolt-on Greco EG models are increasingly hard to find in complete, working order, and this one still wears its Greco-stamped tuners and "Custom" truss rod cover. At 3.8 kg it is comfortable to play for long sets, the neck is straight, and the flame figure under the cherry burst gives it real vintage character. A well-priced entry into 1970s Japan-vintage single-cutaways for a player who wants the look and feel without the cost of a set-neck flagship.
