Title:

1981 EG500 Les Paul Style – Made in Japan – Vintage Gem

---

Description:

Up for sale is a beautiful 1981 Greco EG500, a vintage Japanese Les Paul-style guitar from the golden era of FujiGen production. These guitars are highly regarded for their craftsmanship, tone, and build quality—often rivaling (and sometimes surpassing) their American counterparts from the same period.

This EG500 features a solid build with a classic single-cut design, delivering that warm, punchy tone you’d expect from a vintage Les Paul-style instrument. It’s a fantastic player with tons of character and vintage mojo.

*** ALL ORIGINAL PARTS WILL BE INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE. I HAVE PROVIDED PHOTOS WITH BOTH THE AFTER MARKET BRIDGE THATS INCLUDED AND ORIGINAL BRIDGE ALSO INCLUDED. ***

This guitar delivers rich, warm lows, clear mids, and smooth highs. Great sustain and resonance. Perfect for blues, rock, classic rock, and beyond. The neck feels comfortable and fast, making it a joy to play.

Why This Guitar:

Greco guitars from the early '80s are becoming increasingly collectible. The EG500 offers incredible value for a vintage instrument with authentic tone and craftsmanship—without the high price tag of a Gibson from the same era.
