I think you're right about the touch up. Some chips has been painted
As I said earlier the 'stippling' looks MUCH worse on that photo than in reality, and funny thing is, it's only on the back of the head. Front and rest of the guitar looks nice.

I found some pages - there's apparently also an SS-80P2 ... the bridge being the only difference it seems

Thanks for the feedback fiftywatt! Yeah - it seems to be of very high build quality - fret endbindings and everything ;-) And playability is VERY good!
I'll check out bridge pickup cavity for a model number - thanks!

The SG Greco's are not so common - do they even have model numbers? The serial tells me it must be from 89, and the logo suggests Mint Collection. It has a long tennon neck. The pups have no markings or anything, but I'm very curious what they are? And everything else can you tell me for that...
japanstrat, thanks a lot for your reply!
About the open o's: Is it only a Mint Collection feature? Or did they make other models with the open o as well?
The extras you mention in the higher end models are not so important for me - playability and sound is key! Pickups can easily be changed...
A couple of questions:
What models are 'Mint Collection'? ... or: How do I determine if a given model is a Mint Collection?
There's a lot of talk about the models from the 80's ... but what about 70's Greco's? They are often equal in price to the low-end 80's - but what about quality?
Thanks...
