Up for sale, a 1989 Burny RLC-65 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced by Fernandes in Japan, Burny has long been celebrated for producing some of the most impressive “lawsuit” Customs on the market; this RLC-65 faithfully evokes a 1957 Les Paul Custom, boasting a solid mahogany body with a carved mahogany top and a trio of VH-3 humbuckers.
The all-mahogany construction ensures this Burny has great natural midrange warmth and focused growl, qualities faithfully captured by the VH-3 humbucker trio. These pickups have a smooth treble bark, tailored midrange, and smooth, woody cut, wound in the PAF-style camp, and the three-way pickup selector is currently wired as follows: Bridge, Bridge/Middle, Neck. Offering tons of natural punch and sustain at 11lbs 5oz, this RLC-65 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
