if you go for the Super Real series and the like then they really are pushing up close to the best of the best but if it’s local I would go give it a try.
Contrary to popular belief, they are not all heavy, you can find some pretty light weight ones. I have some Greco Mint collections Les Pauls on the 8.3lb to 8.6lbs mark. Which I find it a pretty decent les paul weight.
Guitars previous to 1979 can also be quite decent, but they fall under the period where Greco was getting closer and closer to copying 50/60s american guitars. So some of the details on the construction might be a bit off.
If the guitar is good (and you can try it), then it might still be worth going for it.
A hollow guitar would be really light I'd say, just because it isn't a boat anchor doesn't mean it's been hollowed but IMO you should be able to tell the difference.
The main like "wow factor" would be the pickups probably, I remember someone saying that the "Dry Z" I think they're called with grey pickup wiring are meant to be the holy grail of Japanese pickups. I had a Greco custom that was pretty heavy but was a quality instrument. Good luck!
