Yep I understand that laminate part. I'm not expecting anything fancy especially with the price I paid for it.

Congrats with the guitar. It looks really clean for a 77 model.  :-)

I'm not too sure. Best is to look at the serial number and check with the according catalogs. Truss rod cover is also another indication of the Mint Collection, iba kasi ang truss rod cover nila.:)

Hi guys,

I can't seem to find an EG 450 that looks like the pics below. Could someone verify this as a legit Greco?

It's not one of those vintages but I'm liking this Greco EW-82 TOM in trans green. Ibebenta ko dapat but I decided to keep it. I really liked the fat neck, the weight and the super screamin' pickups on this one.  A really fun guitar to play.



More info on the model here: http://www.greco.jp/ew/ew-82_tom.html

Price check:

Greco Masters,

please help me find a decent price for this incoming axe!

If you doubt authenticity, kindly enlighten me before I get bashed in the classifieds. I honestly don't know much about Grecos.

Btw its a Greco Gold Top LP custom.
From a Korean friend.

What is the serial number? Bridge looks shiny so it may have been replaced. Ask if it is an original gold top or refinished. How many screws are there on the truss rod cover? I can't see the lower screws from my phone. Is it set neck?

Check the cavity. Painted black can mean it is mik.

Average price of mij greco non super real is 25k.

Thanks Royc for a prompt reply. It isn't repainted. I'll check screws and other angles. Probably Korean because he bought it in his homeland ;)

Thanks Sir Royc for the info
 Torn between 2 les pauls planning to sell 1 of these but which one
     
     
 Greco issues
    wood or paint crack near the neck doesn't affect playability
    frets almost 100%
   might need minor set up
   not shielded
     
 but  wala continuity ung crack after removing the pick up

If Epi is MIJ, keep the Epi.

If Epi is not MIJ, bring the Greco to a luthier for repair
