Up for sale, a 1975 Burny FLG-70 “Les Paul” in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Produced by Fernandes in Japan, Burny has long been celebrated for crafting some of the most impressive “lawsuit” Les Paul iterations on the market. This is a particularly early example, still retaining the Les Paul branding on the “open book” headstock.
The traditional tonewood complement includes a maple top, solid (non-weight relieved) mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard, and this FLG-70 weighs 9lbs 11oz. The pair of LP-1/LP-2 humbuckers are wound firmly in the PAF camp, delivering the smooth treble articulation, airy low end warmth, and tailored midrange clarity of that design, with a notably spongy chop at the bridge and rich breadth at the neck. This FLG-70 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany (one-piece)
-Shape: Slender ‘60s-style C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .930” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, pearloid flared trapezoid inlays
-Frets: Medium, virtually no wear
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, Tusq (replacement)
-Headstock: “Open book” shape, “Les Paul Model” script, early “Fernandes” logo truss rod cover
-Tuners: Gotoh, keystone buttons
-Serialization: 5-prefix stamp (1975 production)
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple (three-piece, carved), mahogany
-Pickups: LP-1/LP-2 humbuckers, Neck: 7.5k ohms, Bridge: 8.1k
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Harness: Modern CTS pots, Sprague “black beauty” tone caps (upgraded)
-Hardware: ABR-1-style bridge, stopbar
-Plastics: Amber bonnet knobs, cream pickguard
Extremely well-kept, cosmetic wear on the gloss Cherry Sunburst finish limited to light pick scuffing on top, a small area of faint buckle rash central to the back, and just a few minor marks on the body as a whole. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original rectangular black tolex hardshell case is included.
