A Greco EG type guitar.  I got it in Feb,2008.

To tell the truth, this guitar exactly is still unknown. At first I regarded as EG-1200 by its browny appearance, but I actually touch with my own hands, it’s far from EG-1200, especially feeling of finish.

Secondary I thought it to be EG-900 of 1975/76 because it had Glover pegs and no serial number.

But I became noticed its discrepancy soon.  Striped ebony fingerboard wasn’t adapted to EG-900 of those days, and slender logo mark was used from 1977.

It is impossible to use new logo in previous period, so it must be handcrafted 1977 or later.  Now I read 1977 catalogue, EG-900 have ebony fingerboard changed from rosewood of previous period.  The pegs might be replaced, but there still is one unsolvable question remained.  Why there is no serial number?

The only way to solve this question is to regard this one to be a prototype.  I want to give thanks here now to “Greco mania in Komae” who manage the site “Studio Greco” with deep knowledge and love to Greco. He gave me advice to reveal the identity of this guitar.

Pickups were already replaced when I got this guitar.  I replaced again to Greco original Z-DRY pickups made in 1981.  Around the log is frosty, it’s unusual for Greco but reasonable if regarding it as a prototype.  4.26kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.24)
