Up for sale, a 1997 Burny RLC-105X in excellent 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. This rare model was produced as a signature model for Pata, rhythm guitarist of X Japan, featuring a Fernandes Sustainer neck pickup.
Lightweight at 8lbs 9oz, tonewoods include a mahogany body, carved maple top, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. The Fernandes Sustainer neck pickup offers seemingly endless sustain, perfect for solos, melodic playing, and wild feedback, and the bridge pickup is wound in the vein of a DiMarzio Super Distortion, yielding scooped mids, aggressive lows, and punchy trebles. This RLC-105X has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
