    not an EG-1000

    Knowing what we know, this is still a pretty nice guitar. What would be a fair price? If it really were an eg 1000, it would of been a bargain at the price the seller is asking.

    not an EG-1000

    The seller of this greco sais it's a solid top guitar. I don't think he's purposley trying to mislead. However, I think allot of sellers don't know allot about the guitars they are selling. He may of got some misinformation from the person he bought the guitar from. Also, there is quite allot of...

    ObG LPC on Ebay - No Bargain Alert Here...

    In my opinion, I think that "koiz-guitar" overcharges for his guitars. I would personally avoid buying anything from this ebay seller. He recently sold somebody an egf-1200 greco for $3500! If you read some of the remarks by a greco expert like "villager", these guitars should sell in the...

    '80 Super Real EGF1200 on ebay ****BARGAIN ALERT****

    I think your right. A greco of this calibre are not made anymore, you make a valid point. I do agree Japanese workmanship is in most cases is better than gibson's workmanship at a fraction of the cost.
