1976 Greco EG1000 Custom Wine Red, 100% Original w/ Maxon U-3000, Case
A direct response to the ā70s era Les Paul Custom, this model features a carved two-piece maple top, mahogany body, and a three-piece maple neck. This Greco has plenty of natural sustain and punch, providing an ideal platform for the Maxon U-3000 humbuckers. A highly sought-after Maxon pickup, the U-3000s are one of the highest grade humbuckers offered on any Greco of their era, featuring Alnico 8 magnets with a response akin to a PAF. The bridge pickup has strong chirp and honk, with a touch-sensitive feel and midrange growl, while the neck pickup is particularly fat and velvety. This EG1000 weighs 10lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikeās Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
