1988 Greco EGC68-60 Les Paul Custom Type - Black - Mint Collection - Made in Japan
This is a 1988 Greco EGC68-60 from the Mint Collection series, a Japanese-made Les Paul Custom type. It comes in black with gold hardware. The serial number H881043 dates it to August 1988, and the original "600" grade sticker is still on the back of the headstock.
The Mint Collection series ran through the 1980s and is well known among players of Japanese vintage guitars. This example has the classic Custom look: multi-ply body and headstock binding, a split-diamond headstock inlay, block fingerboard inlays, and two gold-covered humbuckers. It is an honest, player-grade guitar that has clearly been played.
