Other higher priced no serial Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Tōkai and the Les Paul models have an EG-75 or EGC-75 model number stamped in the pickup cavity and sometimes have fret edge binding. The Cor-Tek made Greco guitars have square shaped, brick like nuts with no slope and also often have shielding paint in the pickup and control cavities. The lower priced no serial number Greco Les Paul and SG models were made by Cor-Tek (Cort) and usually have Cor-Tek (Cort) potentiometers.
Some Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas starting from around 1988 had no serial numbers. Most of the Greco open book headstock Gibson replicas were made by FujiGen Gakki. Since the mid 1990s Greco models have used other serial number formats as well. Sometimes a month letter is used in an MYPPPP format.
It sounds and plays like a 'proper' old Les Paul, articulate but still nice and fat. Body has plenty of knocks around the lower bout near the jack socket and is definitely not in mint condition!
RS Guitarworks Vintage upgrade kit (CTS Pots, PIO Caps and 50's wiring) Original pots and caps included in sale. Gibson 57 classic in the bridge and a BB#2 in the neck. Finish is a Dark Cherry burst, It looks lovely in the flesh and changes depending on the light. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard (I had this checked by Ade at the guitar lounge as well). I originally thought this was a 1 piece back but I have since had Ade at the guitar lounge check it out and it is 2 piece but very hard to tell. It is an EG59 and I believe it is an EG59-60 but it is pretty hard to be confident on Greco models.
