Up for sale, a circa 1990 Burny RLC-70 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted in Japan under the umbrella of the Fernandes company, 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 an ebonized rosewood fretboard, and this Burny is lightweight for an LP-style guitar at 8lbs 14oz. Known for their nuance, clarity, and dynamic response, Burny's VH-1 humbuckers are wound at 8.1k ohms, on the hotter end of the PAF-style spectrum, delivering an ideal blend of warmth and articulation. This RLC-70 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
