A Greco EG-1000R made in 1976.

The date mark "16330" of pickup revealed that they were installed on May 30,1976.

In those days, EG-1500 was on the throne.  Soon after EG-1500 and EG-1200 were reassigned to the Project Series and EG-1000 became the top grade of the regular production.

U3000 pickups were installed.  Greco made U3000 by means of magnets from Alembic.  By a curious coincidence, imprinted number of pickups are same as my EG-900CR.  That’s too good to be true. Installation of pickups might be done at a stroke.

Hard maple two-piece top, two-layer mahogany pancake back, three-piece maple neck, ebony fingerboard, fret edge binding, Grover tuners were equipped as usual of high grade guitars.  EG-1000s become hard to get recently. (Updated 2016.8.23)
