A Greco EG-1350 Project series.  To tell the truth, I gave up for getting EG-1350 because it was extremely rare.

Within my memory, I met EG-1350s only twice in ten years.  I didn’t bid for the first one because it was in too bad condition.  And fortunately I got the second one, it is this.

The Project Series lists 3 models, EG-1200/1350/1500.  EG-1200 is Les Paul Standard model, EG-1500 is Les Paul Custom model and they are same as regular products except for U4000 pickup and cashew lacquer finish.

EG-1350 is especially eccentric among Project Series models.  It was manufactured based on EG-1200, but body carving was very unique.  No Les Pauls have ever been carved like it as far as I know.  Topped maple was carved deeply just inside the edge, and it lets us imagine a voluptuous violin.

In those days, almost no positive evaluation seems to have been given to this model. They must look EG-1350 as maverick. That’s why they are extremely rare.  The amount of production is EG-1200>>EG-1500>EG-1350.

Now I look at it again, its carving is very fascinating again. 4.41kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.22)
