Hi, received this guitar last friday. It's a Greco Super Real EG (plain top) from -80 but I have no idea which model. Anyone who could help me?
It's very much in players condition with a lot of scratches and "dings" but the top is in good condition and evrything works as it should. It looks like the model identification tag was the oval kind, not the square type that I've seen on EGF 850 and upwards. Seems not to have the deep joint? After looking in catalog scans it could be an EG500, EG700 or EG900. Does the EG900 have the deep joint? Is there any way to identify which model number it is? It has fret bindings but I believe all Grecos from that period had that even the EG500? The pickup's doesn't have any marks exept an "X" on the bridge pu.
It's very nice to play and at least I don't need to worry about making a scratch or something
Another thing that surprised me when looking closer in the catalog was that it seems like all EG models from -80 has Super Real on the headstock? I thought only the high end models had the Super Real logo?
