A Greco EG-1200 Project Series, this is the first one of my EG-1200s.

When I was a boy, the Greco Project Series was, so to speak, a heavenly existence like a Rubens’s picture for an Flanders boy.  An rural boy wasn’t allowed to see, let alone touch.

Hard maple top, 2-layer pancake body, maple 3 pieces neck, striped ebony fingerboard, Grover pegs, U4000 pickups, time-consuming unique lacquer finish called Violin Finish were specified.

Among all the specifications, Violin Finish is the most prominent character of Project Series.  The finish is easy to fade.  They were darker when produced.  Progression of fade had made antique-looking beautiful color like Honey Burst.  Original color can be seen under the escutcheons and the switch plate.

In the pickup cavity, Japanese character “KA” in a circle was imprinted.  A exact meaning of it is still unknown.

The weight is 3.68kg(includes strings), very light.  Sound is also light.  I reinstalled pickup cover. (Updated 2016.8.23)
