+1!

Also my opinion. The early beginner-/low-range models mostly had 'cheapo' electronics and pickups. Early low-range GRECO´s (EG-430&EG-480 from 1973-´74) came along with chambered bodys, ARIA pro II & Ibanez had chambered birch-tops. Plywood-bodys and other strange constructions were usual in that period.

You better look out for a SOLID 1978-´80 Greco EG-500 (attention: some chambered models are on the market too) or a nice 1980 ARIA LS-600 -model (for example). They are payable at these days (same $-level as a brand-new Epiphone LP) and show really good quality.
