1989 Burny RLC-60 Custom Black Beauty Mahogany Top w/ VH-3 Humbuckers, Japan Fernandes

$1,549.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1989 Burny RLC-60 in excellent 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.

Faithfully evoking a 1957 Les Paul Custom, tonewoods include a solid mahogany body with mahogany top and a mahogany neck capped with a rosewood fretboard, and the all-mahogany construction ensures this Burny has great natural midrange warmth and focused growl, qualities faithfully captured by the VH-3 humbucker pair. These pickups have a smooth treble bark, tailored midrange clarity, and smooth, woody cut, very much wound in the PAF-style camp. Notably lightweight for an LP-style guitar at 8lbs 9oz, this RLC-60 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish is framed by multi-ply binding, and cosmetic wear includes buckle rash on the back and some small dings across the body. There are a few shallow marks in the gloss on the neck profile behind frets 1-5 that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
