1990. Maybe a Les Paul Studio type.

Wasn't the Famous mustache logo removed in 1981?

The open book headstock is referred to the very end of the guitars headstock.. if you look at the lines of it.. it has the lines of an open reading book lying on a flat surface .. hence the name open book ....As for the Mustache... it would be the 5 piece inlay on the headstock just below the words GRECO.. Hope this is helpful... Best,.. Cliff

Think there are a few crossed wires here, the open book headstock is sometimes called the moustache headstock, the split diamond inlay is more often than not called a split diamond inlay

The split diamond inlay was not used after 1981 but came back in the late 1980s. This Greco is a 1990. The truss rod cover is not from 1980 and I think the Greco logo has a open O (from what I can make out) which started in late 1981 and in 1980 the Super Reals were being made and this guitar ain't no Super Real. IT'S A 1990 GRECO!. There are no links because it probably isn't in a Greco catalogue. It's just a lower priced Studio LP type with no LP body binding and it looks good and might be a great guitar but is really nothing special.

Japanaxe had the answer. It's a 1990 EGC700 70,000 Yen ($700 US) Custom Lite model http://www.j-guitar.com/sp/sea/view_detail/s17230282.html
It's a mid priced model and the specs look like Mahogany 2 piece body and set neck.
