Hi,
Ive been lurking here on and off for years, but just started posting.
I would appreciate any help you can give me in ID-ing this new purchase. I believe it came from a member here, LarryC. I bought it on eBay. It's a 1980 Greco EGF-1200 Super Real. The serial # looks like 0 5617.
I expected this guitar to have a long tenon, but it has a short/dowell tenon. Is this normal for this guitar in this year? I also expected the bridge and TP to have similar markings to a 1980 Greco EGF 850/950 (I'm not sure which) that I already own, but the TP has no markings and the Bridge only reads. "JAPAN." My 850/950 bridge and TP read as follows:
TP: "F.G.T. 8001 MADE IN JAPAN"
Bridge: "SG Bridge F 8107 MADE IN JAPAN"
Pictures of the EGF1200:
Bridge and Tailpiece
Neck Tenon

2 Piece Back

Thank you!
