The eg59-70 was plain top solid as far as i know and going from the catalogue specs,The eg59-65 was flame laminate.
Think they were all poly up to the eg58-120!

I thought the 850+ was nitro during the 80-82 period? That one is a Mint Collection however and IMO the best Greco's built.

I would have to agree that the early Mint Collection was when Greco got there Lester copies right
My 1982 Mint Collection gold top is over all the best Greco LP I have ever played.
It has the best sounding set of Screamin' 1982 pups of several sets I have played.
There is something completely magical about this guitar that defies description & it's not a high end/high spec piece.

That is delish man! I would assume it was due to the clouds that is has a blue hue to the top? Does it look more like this in person? I am so looking forward to my 82 Super Real Custom Mint Collection Should have it on Monday !

Alot of the early mint collections, like the EG59-70, have fret edge nibs/binding, headstock veneers, one piece,no heel, big chunky 59' necks. Mine does, unlike alot of the later ones I've had, which tend to get slimmer and have a heelcap, fiberboard veneer on the peghead. Except for the poly and 2-piece body there a pretty dead on 59'.
