Comfortable too, this particular 'Narumo' model has a cutaway on the back. Lovely back too btw with the colour fading out a bit in some areas

Re: Incoming NGD • 1975 Greco EG800
Plugged Paa in, glorious. The original open pickups are clear, articulate and handle cleans and gain with equal aplomb; the neck is quite a bit higher output than the bridge but raising the bridge pickup a bit more than usual sorts that out
Looking forward to playing the heck out of it before it goes up to GrantB for a refret later in the year

Re: NGD • 1974 Greco EG800
Found the page from Greco’s 1974 catalogue that shows this model, the EG-800 is the sunburst one at the bottom fourth in from the left. Looks like you could pick up a new one in 1974 for around ¥80,000

Re: NGD • 1974 Greco EG800
That's how most MIJ naming conventions work. The EG is the series and the number is the price. Same for Edwards, Tokai, Epiphone MIJ, Orville, all those guys.MiniForklift wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:52 am Found the page from Greco’s 1974 catalogue that shows this model, the EG-800 is the sunburst one at the bottom fourth in from the left.

EG my MIJ Epiphone is a LPS 95 - Les Paul Standard, and it retailed at ¥95,000. My Edwards was the LP-92 - Les Paul, retailed at ¥92,000.
It's an easy way to let you know where you are in the food chain.

Same for some of the Yamaha Superaxes. The SA-90 was yen90,000. Same for SA75 (bass) and SA60. Not sure about the lower numbers. Need to check the brochures for their sale pricingNippleWrestler wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 11:03 amThat's how most MIJ naming conventions work. The EG is the series and the number is the price.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
