Up for sale, a 1977 Greco EG800PB in great, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This "lawsuit era" Greco was crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan, designed as a faithful recreation of Peter Frampton's iconic "Phenix" triple-pickup Black Beauty Les Paul Custom, famously seen on the cover of (and heard on)

Frampton Comes Alive!

The tonewood complement comprises a mahogany body with a maple top, maple neck, and ebony fingerboard, and this EG800PB weighs 10lbs 5oz.

The original trio of Maxon-made U-2000 humbuckers feature Alnico V magnets; these pickups are articulate and warm, with treble-centric growl and sweet sustain, responding well to thick overdrive. Medium output, these humbuckers have a punchy quality, responsive to pick attack, and the central pickup is wired in-phase for an extra full middle position tone.

The gloss Ebony finish has moderate buckle rash across the back, light scuffing on the treble side of the pick path, and a number of minor dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole.
