Explanation
"I want to strum that beautiful flame maple and the sticky vintage humbucker tone of a '50s Burst," "But genuine vintage guitars are too expensive and out of my reach, and current replicas somehow lack the overwhelming quality of wood and the passion of the craftsmen that the golden age of Japanese vintage guitars boasted." Are you looking for a perfect Les Paul replica that will go down in history, along with the authentic sound that has been refined for nearly half a century?
In the early 1980s, Japanese craftsmen, driven by a relentless desire to perfectly replicate the original Gibson, created the legendary Greco Super Real series. Produced for only about two years before being replaced by the Mint Collection in 1982, this Super Real era is now fiercely sought after by collectors and professional players worldwide, considered the pinnacle of Japanese vintage guitars.
However, opportunities to find a well-preserved example of the EGF1000, a top-of-the-line model within the Super Real series that generously uses beautiful flame maple, are drastically decreasing year by year. The chance to acquire one is now almost a miracle. This is a rare and exceptional piece from the final period of this legendary series, fulfilling the dreams of collectors and guitarists alike. After 46 years, the wood of this 1980 Greco EGF1000 Super Real has matured to its finest quality. It embodies an almost obsessive passion for surpassing the original, resulting in exquisite detail and a superb sound.
The Super Real series was produced for only a very short period, from 1980 to 1982. The 1980 EGF1000 is a final example of the series, representing the peak of its reproduction and quality, making it an exceptional joy to own.
With a breathtaking flame maple top, a solid mahogany back, and a mahogany neck, this guitar embodies the classic Les Paul recipe without compromise.RecruitOver 46 years, the wood has completely dried out, and the entire body vibrates directly even at the acoustic stage.
The guitar comes standard with the highly acclaimed DiMarzio PAF pickups, known for their exceptional reliability. They delicately capture the nuances of your picking, boasting sweet, rich harmonics and clear, unadulterated resolution.
The neck itself isn't excessively thick, making it easy to handle, while the sides have a comfortable, fleshy design. This provides an excellent grip that allows you to firmly hold it with your entire palm.
Based on the crisp, clear transparency characteristic of Japanese vintage guitars, this instrument powerfully combines this with the thick, forward mid-low frequencies provided by aged mahogany. From delicate arpeggios in clean tones to gritty, wild rock and roll drive sounds, it delivers the ultimate Les Paul tone.
The EGF1000 Super Real combines the authentic vintage sound forged over 46 years with top-notch detail and the superb tone of DiMarzio PAF pickups. This is a once-in-a-lifetime instrument that we want discerning players who want to fully utilize the exquisite Les Paul sound approaching that of a genuine Burst in live performances and recordings, and who want to acquire the pinnacle of the legendary golden age of Japanese vintage guitars before they are exported overseas.
The legendary golden age of Super Real, where Japanese pride shook the original. Experience the weight of 46 years of history and the overwhelming rock and roll tone the moment you hold it in your hands.
