1978 Greco Les Paul Custom style Guitar w/ Maxon Pickups, Premium Appointments, Hardshell Case
For sale we have a Greco Les Paul Custom Style Guitar in a deep black finish, with gold hardware and a deluxe 7 ply binding. Based off a late 60s Gibson LP Custom, this guitar shares all the vibe and appeal of one of Rock’s greatest guitars, at a much greater value. This isn’t just a budget Japanese knockabout guitar, though Guitars like this were the subject of a high profile lawsuit between Gibson and a multitude of Japanese guitar manufacturers. This guitar features the “Open Book” headstock design that was the subject of intense scrutiny during the trial. Nowadays, these guitars are highly sought after due to their high quality and limited availability, in the states.
The guitar is in great shape, with only a few small dings in the usual spots. The front of the guitar is thankfully free of any visible finish issues aside from a pair of light dings near the edge of the top. They’re very difficult to see from more than a few feet away though. The gold hardware has developed a nice patina, and has been well kept, so there’s no rough corrosion or rust. The pickups in this instrument sound positively massive. At some point in it’s life, a previous owner removed the pickup covers, probably for better tone. During this era of production, Greco was using Maxon pickups, which are prized for their clarity and body. They punch right through a mix when run through a hot amp. These are especially great sounding without the covers interfering with the magnetic field.
The guitar has been professionally setup with fresh strings set to play low and easy. The frets have been dressed, and the fretboard has been conditioned. The electronics have been cleaned, as well. A hardshell case is included for safe storage and transportation.
