Mga Sirs, curious lang ako, dapat bang lagyan ng EMG Zakk Wlde and Greco or pinabayaan na lang ang stock pick-up? Nilagyan ko kasi ng ganitong pick up ang 1990 or 1980 Greco ko (not sure ang guitar dater). I can't remember anymore kung anong PUP's ang mabigat, ang emg ba o ang stock.

ano itsura ng truss rod cover? malalaman mo kung 80 or 90 based dun. yung pup na stock depende rin sa model ng greco so hard to tell. kung nasa yo pa yung stock pups kunin mo yung markings sa ilalim.

Anybody want to comment if this is really a "Mint Collection"?
60's slim profile neck.
I couldn't find the serial number (and I haven't looked under the pickups yet).

looks like a late 80s or early 90s korean mint collection: no serial, truss rod cover is bell instead of curve, unbranded tuners, hardware looks new. to confirm you need to look at the cavity.

check out the rightmost example on this page:
http://www.cosmikdebris.co.uk/grecopics.htm#serial

looks very nice tho :)

super real? pics :)

not super real..not sure though, serial starts with an "O", so according to my research this is probably early 80's greco les paul custom, long tenon neck.

anyway, i just got the pick up rings so Im in the process of relicing it..or aging... I got cream pup rings, I think its going to look interesting with black  :-D

Madami na din akong nakikitang naka post na Greco so baka puede din tayong gumawa ng sarili nating thread. Para din to sa mga interested sa Greco so we can share what we know. Here's mine:



It's a 1978 EG700 setneck, solid body (hindi pancake). All stock except sa tone pot at refretted sya. Eto specs:

Mahogany one layer body
Maple two piece top
Mahogany one piece neck
Rosewood Fingerboard
U-2000 pickups

Photogenic LP gamit ko nun and narealize ko na kung magpapamana ako sa baby ko ng gitara dapat yung may historical value. Hindi ko kaya ang Gibson hehe kaya I decided to get either a Greco, Tokai or Burny. 

Di naman ako nagsisisi dahil iba talaga ang tunog ng Greco :-)

bro, kala ko F/S yan eh. magkano ba?

Bibilhin ko na dapat eh :)) hahahahah pero im not that a bad person to not let the seller be informed on what he was going to sell :) ayaw ko namang dugasin ka, and so i helped you find out the model to know which model that guitar really is. :) glad you'll be happier more than ever. :)

dami palang tinarget nito..

pinapareserve pa yun Super Real ko...kesyo may pera na kukunin na lang at pagnakuha..promises promises...

pero madami pa lang plano.  :evil:

I waS just checking the my guitar at grecoed.com, seems like my LP Custom is still a Super Real Series ( EG800C ) but the truss rod cover seems to be of the Mint Collection series, I did check and it has the long tenon.
