Greco Les Paul! Model Identification? LOTS OF PICS! - Page 2

Well the EG59-50 model was close but the sticker on the back is the model number. Without the model sticker it can be hard to ID what model it is. So it's a Greco Mint Collection (open O in the Greco logo) EG-650 (or maybe EG59-65) with Screamin pickups which sold for 65,000 Yen or roughly $600-$650 in Japan in 1984. The EG-650 was a lower midrange model with a poly finish.

Any idea what the model is? It says 650 near the headstock is that a hint? The serial number says its either 81 or 84, since the first digit can be a 1 or 4. The PUs a re "Scream'in 1982" pickups, so I guess its more likely to be a 84 guitar. Any help would be great!

It does have a tiny bit of Flame going too:

You never stated if you got the long tenon on this one - or not?

I just bought a Greco Mint Collection ('84) Goldtop.
The seller isn't sure which model, but he guess 65-something. Does this have the Screamin pickups then?
They are supposed to be ceramic. How do they sound?
I like to play everything from Larry Carlton to ZZ Top.
