That’s why Greco, to make a copy of the Gibson Les Paul (Greco EG series), had to rely on pictures of catalogs and artists! The original EG-360 series was quite different from the real Les Paul, both in the dimensions of the neck and in the manufacturing of the body. As a result, young people were encouraged to buy the guitars of their idols and to play Rock’n’Roll and of course, Greco soon realized that the market for musical instruments had to adapt to young people and offer them what they want.īecause of the high prices of Gibson in Japan, only a few jazz musicians could afford one and Greco had no real Gibson available. In 1971, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk Railroad and other major bands of the time toured Japan.
The young people had to save more than 5 months of salary to buy the guitar of their dreams. The price of a new Stratocaster was 239,000 yen, more than US $ 660.00 (US $). The exchange rate at the time was around 360 yen for 1 US dollar the initial salary of a young Japanese was therefore 120.00 US dollars (US $). In 1970, the average salary of a young graduate from a university in Japan was 43,000 yen (JYE). It was at this time that Japanese youth discovered and wanted to acquire Gibson Les Paul Customs, SG’s, Fender Stratocasters, Telecasters and other guitar models. Guitarist Jimmy Page would greatly contribute to the commercial success of the famous Gibson Les Paul Standard with a Sunburst finish. Led Zeppelin launched 2 memorable albums (Led Zeppelin I and II).
