USED Greco / EG500T Tobacco Brown Sunburst [11]

A 1977 EG500T manufactured during the transitional period leading up to Greco's golden age.
Based on the serial number "I776852," this instrument is confirmed to be a 1977 model.

Catalogs from that era confirm that white sycamore bodies were in use at the time, and this guitar impresses with its lively response and clear, open sound.
While possessing the characteristic richness of a Les Paul-style guitar, it offers a pleasant, well-defined midrange and tight low end, delivering the practical, well-balanced tone typical of Japanese vintage instruments.

The pickups feature a "27912" stamp on the back and are believed to be original Maxon-style humbuckers with braided wire shielding.
Currently in an open-back, double-black finish, its rugged, late-70s look is also a major draw.

Greco guitars from around 1977, while retaining the freedom and individual character unique to the pre-"Super Real" era, saw a dramatic improvement in build quality.
In recent years, these models have gained significant popularity overseas, and this era is undergoing a re-evaluation among Japanese vintage LP-style guitars.
The tuners have been replaced with Grover-type tuners, similar to those found on the EG700 series.
There is paint chipping on the top of the body, the tip of the headstock, and the back edge of the body. The chipping on the headstock tip and the back reveals the wood underneath. Additionally, there are numerous scratches and dents, some metal discoloration is visible, and it shows moderate signs of use.
There are no noticeable issues with the neck, and it is in good playing condition.
Condition Grade: B: Shows significant scratches and signs of use, but is in good working order for normal use
