I never heard of MIK Grecos ... I don't know what Greco is doing currently, but I am quite sure that ALL Greco guitars until the early 90s were MIJ. Any Super Real or Mint Collection definitely.

Please take note of the neck joint. It's heel is rather smoother than strandard SGs with a larger neck joint ala Les Paul.

I have a Greco SG with some similarities to yours. If I get some free time, I will take some pictures to post for comparison.
What catches my eye about yours is the headstcok inlay, it looks faithful to Gibson's, and almost every Greco SG fails on this detail.
I do notice that yours has a 3 screw truss rod cover... mine has the two screw bell shape truss cover.
Pictures soon.

aren't the 70s Grecos bolt ons?
Plus I couldn't find it on any of the 70s era catalogue.
I swear, I'll post the whole serial number tonight.
Serial begins with J80xxxx

luis said:I agree.I?m following this made in japan guitars sice 4 years ago because Perter Mac taught,and the more i study them,the more i found odd things.But I discovered the 3 bolt TRC rule on Burnys and Grecos as a general rule.... This time it seems I was right,but I would not be 100% sure ever on a MIJ.... that?s true....
I thank everybody here adding forces to myself to learn as stated above...
