Greco EG-500 Single Cut 1978 Brown Sunburst MIJ Japan FujiGen

Greco EG-500

A lovely LP style from Greco. Put together with love at the legendary FujiGen factory in Japan, these old Greco’s have become highly sought after in recent years by collectors and players alike. 1978 was the year FujiGen really got into their groove, the copies became much more refined and true to the original American guitars they were imitating. We love this old EG500, a proper vintage gem with a comfortable  neck and punchy set of humbuckers.

Our old EG-500 is in excellent condition for a guitar of this vintage, it’s hardly been played! A couple of age related marks are present (pictured) but nothing unsightly! We’ve replaced all the electronics (Alpha pots, O+G switch, Switchcraft Jack) as the originals were scratchy beyond saving. We’ve included the original electronics in the case. Freshly set up with Daddario 10’s and ready to go!
