I recently purchased a 1980 Greco EG-450, the Greco Lester with the hollowed out mahogany body & the thin, multi ply top.
I've been curious about these so called 'hollow' Greco Lesters, and decided to jump on this one, since it is completely original.
The nicely aged patina on the hardware is exceptional, and particularlly so on the Greco Deluxe tuners.
The craftsmanship is excellent, the playability is also excellent, the tonal response is very 335 yet it retains the ergonomics & fret access of a Les Paul, and it weighs 7 lb. - 9 oz.
The pickups & electronics could certainly stand to be upgraded but for a light weight alternative for a Lester, and the near tonal response of a Gibson 335, this is an excellent choice with very high build quality.
This was certainly a good chioce for my only 'hollow' Lester 8)
Thank you Akira
