Sleek, Cool, Classic... Feast your eyes on this amazing Greco LP that was made in Japan in around 1973. The Greco EG-500B exemplifies the commitment to detail and quality that the Greco Company is lauded for throughout the musical instrument world. Beautifully rendered with correct long neck tenon and open book headstock this is a Les Paul lovers dream axe. This guitar has an authentic heft, and balanced feel that is only seen in the finest instruments and it's a vibe that punctuates this piece with authority and conviction. Plugged in this beast delivers a punchy wallop with clear, articulate tonality and a woody timbre that's conducive to rocking your ass off. It features a mahogany body and neck, classicly voiced PAF style humbucking pickups and a vintage look that is as epic as any. Cosmetically, the guitar is in player friendly condition with a few dings, nicks, and scratches. Most of the wear is on the back and will let you rock out worry free. The gold hardware has some patina, the neck is perfectly straight and true, the truss rod is fully functional and all components operate as intended, making this an ideal player to add to your stable. We installed brand new Kluson Deluxe tuners that look great and hold the tune great. This is a stage ready, true classic that is ready to make one new owner a very happy camper.


This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.


**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.
