Up for sale, a 1988 Burny Super Grade RLG-50 ‘59 Model in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced under the umbrella of the Fernandes company in Japan, Burny has long been lauded for making some of the finest “lawsuit” LP instruments, with great adherence to vintage Gibson spec and premium fit and finish work.

Weighing only 9lbs 4oz, traditional tonewoods include a mahogany body, carved maple top, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. The VH-3 humbuckers are wound firmly in the PAF-style vein, delivering smooth treble bark, clear low-mids and growling cut. This RLG-50 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
