I think it's the cutaway of the horn Mike; a little deeper but especially wider,
typical for EGFs & not 'vintage correct'

Yep, it's my 1980 ish Nav. Been posted on here afew times but any excuse :lol: Not absolutely sure of the year or model. It has no serial and was bought as junk with no no pups or electrics. After a bit of TLC and tokai mkII pickups it sounds absolutely great and it's like a nice pair of old shoes to play.
Of the guitars posted so far I like Jacco's 1980 Greco EGF1800 best to look at.

So........prior to this topic thread I already knew that my 1980 Greco gold top did not have a center seam top. Mine did not have any paint in the pickup cavity so no extra work for me - just look for the seam and the wood grain for flame potential.
Has anyone found anything interesting yet?

As a MIJ aficionado, but only a basement player, this is the one I pickup most days. Unlike you, who has worked hard to possess some incredible chops, my guitar playing is for my ears only.

Very interesting. I have said for a long time now, "there is no such thing as a coincidence".
If you look just above your post - I happened to obtain the Dry Z pickups in my LS-80 from Don Mare in a round about way. They were in a Greco EGF-1000 that he had. He had upgraded it with a pair of Dry Zs he purchased from a Japanese seller.
I got a good deal on the Greco, knowing that I would be able to sell it and keep the Dry Zs if I wanted to (of course I wanted to keep the Dry Zs). The guitar was nice, but I just couldn't come to terms with the weight (nearly 10 lbs) and the veneer top.
Although I have never purchased any of his own pickups, I think Don is a really nice guy to deal with, based on my interactions with him regarding the purchase of the Greco.
Yep,
there was a thread in the electronic forum about the pups you bout.

Alright here are 2 audio clips of the Nash Les Paul.
There are 3 tracks, one Rhythm, one Arpeggio chordal thingy and then, a solo. The first clip has a clean solo, and the second has a dirty solo.
I did not care about the hum from my amp, the mistakes on the tracks (one take), nor the EQ. You should get the jist of what it sounds like.
Hopefully I can get clips of my Number 1 soon.

Very nice playing P., like the phrasing a lot - your own composition? What was the amp? Particularly liked the clean tone ( bear in mind I'm listening on an iPod sans headphones)
