Back-2-piece mahogany
Solid-top 2-piece maple outbreaks
-Cherry Sunburst
Nitro-Finish
1-piece Mahogany neck
Fret-Edge Binding
Long post
Channel Indian rosewood with pearl markers
-2 Pickups Maxon double PU-2 (Japan)
-22 Frets
-4 Knobs (2 volume + 2 tone) and a 3-position selector.
Made famous in the Japanese factory Fujigen Gakki in 1980-1981 only.
Note that these guitars have a "long tongue" that Gibson apparently even today do not (medium only) because it is very difficult to achieve. The contact area between the neck and body are increased, the sustain is very impressive! Greco is the head of the largest of the Japanese replica Les Paul.
Everything else is absolutely identical to the real Gibson. A replica larger than life!
The violin and quality finish of these guitars is what made him famous factory Fujigen for Greco. Simply sublime and absolutely nothing to envy to the Made in USA. Can not tell the difference without looking at the logo. Only perhaps micro PU-2 are not as good as the real PAF made in the USA but it's really all!
(Note that larger models EG1000, EG1200 and EG1800 are equipped with microphones famous "DRY Z". The popularity of pickups is huge but I have not had a chance to test them ...)
UTILIZATION
The neck is superb and very enjoyable.
I love the pearly cargo marks and texture of the table.
Ergonomics issue is an exact replica of a traditional Les Paul 59.
The form is in all respects identical to the legendary Gibson.
The guitar is a bit heavy (mahogany body) but I'm used to lighter Stratocaster ...
It is true that one feels less "free" with a Start but who cares.
Access to the 22nd cargo is less easy than on my Start but nothing really annoying.
Overall I must admit it is still quite heavy but the handle is so comfortable that you forget quickly the defect.
His question, the microphones are perhaps not as versatile as a Start but they are perfect for that style I like!
SOUNDS
I tested by playing Guns n Roses yet.
The sound is excellent!
Maybe a little less good in a real big disto Gibson because it tends to become a bit messy and mushy by increasing the overdrive. So for the hard metal is going on ...
The pickups are very quiet at rest, no noise.
The sustain is halucinant! More than triple my Start!
No doubt thanks to the long post.
For now I tested it with Amplitube but is usually well enough to have an excellent sound.
I love playing in the treble with the serious tone micro and small disto 0 reverb!
(His very "noon")
We'll quickly for Slash! (Well be the level ... XD)
Ooooh Sweet Child O Mine ~
I admit to not having played much clean it.
I shall publish this notice when I'm fixed.
I had played on the Start date and I must confess that I never had the sound I was looking for I always find that the sustain is not glorious and not necessarily its hot disto ...
I have not had the chance (or resources) to play on a real Gibson (So I insist that this opinion is purely subjective!) But I've seen videos and heard enough music for me make a clear idea.
I love swinging good agreements with distortion and low tone cut with small solo tone "midi" full bend.
At this point I'm thrilled.
The spirit of good old punk rock is in there!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few weeks and I have not touched since my strat ... I find it so "hollow" compared to the Greco ...
It is incomparable.
I tested several Fender and Ibanez.
They are very far behind the El Greco.
What about ... Open your eyes!
Japanese guitars of the 80s (Greco, Tokai, Burny, Orville, Navigator, ect ...) are at least as good as made in U.S.. See very often better and mostly incomparable with models manufactured today.
The plant Fujigen which is beginning to threaten the U.S. with sales of guitars even been bought by Fender in 1982.
She then made guitars under the brand Fender Squier (the famous "JV").
Be careful though because they are rare collectors models now.
EG1200 with a DRY easily reached Z $ 2,500 on ebay.
But the price / quality ratio is still very good because after all what is the value for the price of a new Gibson?
I wanted a Les Paul and Japan was ready to pay the price to be very good. ($ 1100)
A good amount but it is true I'm in heaven now.
I remake that choice without any hesitation (well if I could afford it XD).
What I like most? The finish and the violin.
What I like least? The weight can be ...
