A Greco EG-800 made manufactured in 1979.  I call this guitar “Freckles”.

Eye-catching many freckles on its top.  It’s so rare.  I replaced its pegs to used Grover’s when I got it.

The fingerboard inlays were made of pearl oyster. On those days, EG-800 and upper grade standard Les Pauls had them, EG-700 and lower grade had pearloid cell inlays, but EG-800GS(gold top model) is the same as latter.

They mounted PU-0 pickups characterized by double adjustable bobbins. In those days, Greco seems to have started increasing pickup output. I measured the output of Greco pickups I have.

U1000 7.55～7.71kΩ（number2 ave.7.63kΩ）
U2000 7.65～7.91kΩ（number3 ave.7.76kΩ）
U3000 7.66～8.09kΩ（number12 ave.7.82kΩ）
U4000 7.84～8.13kΩ（number5 ave.7.98kΩ）

Pickup grade seems to be related to its output. Now I measured these PU-0,   the result was 8.15kΩ(neck) and 8.09kΩ(bridge), still higher. Plane surfaced PU-1 pickups mounted on MR-1000 were still higher over 8.4kΩ. High output might be a requirement of those period.

PU-0s make a little crispy sound, not so bad. 4.14kg(includes strings, excludes pickguard). (Updated 2016.8.24)
