there are other differences ie the necks on 1200 are usually the fattest
well DRY-Z are my fav PU I think they are very good...
I have some tom holmes and I also use peter Florance...close but not as good ..

I have dry 1982's in one guitar and Peter Florence Voodoos in another and I have to say that I really prefer the Dry 1982's over the Voodoos. Never heard the Z's. I bet a big part of the sound of the EGF 1200 is those Dry-Z's.

Nice!
Those are exactly the same size i think.
But later, or at the same time, they used stickers with only the numbers on them. Those are the ones i think might differ in size. I have some glue residue on my late (1982) Super real and may be able to tell which one was there. I've seen stickers with only 1200 on them but none with only 850. I've seen 500 though.
BTW I've seen several, as I remeber, EG58-120 with the 1200 stickers on them. Is This correct or is there a EG58-120 sticker?
Thanks Mick!

58-120 and EGF-1200 essentially the same guitar...some minor differences , in PU and tenon construction method, some very late superreal EGF-1200 were sent out from the factory tagged as 58-120's
so there would be a super real EGF=1200 with a 58-120 tag on it...

A new question for the knowables:
When did the surface under the pickups go flat on the grecos?
The EG58-120 with 1200 sticker earlier in this thread is number 2 3367 and has flat surface. Mine nr 2 003x is not flat.

I'm talking about the ones with tinted laquer making the binding look yellowish. The earlier EGF didn't have that,they where honeyburst with whiter binding(clear laquer). I havent yet seen an EGF 850 with this feature (tinted that is).
villager said:
Which Mint Collection models has the rolled off binding ?
Did the flat surface around the pickups start with the Mint series or does it depend on model level?
So only the Super Reals had the correct carved top. Not the Mint Collection.
The alu stoptail was only on the egf1200. Not on the lower number models..
And the tinted laquer was only on the EGF 1200 Super Real. On many Mint Collection though..
That makes mine a 1200! 8)
