The secret is already out on them and some of the nicer ones are used mid grade Gibson money. The higher the number on the model name, (rlg-120 etc) the more yen in the thousands they costed new so people sell them by that
I have a 1989 RLC-60 and it's an astonishing guitar. The original white finish has yellowed massively over in Japan (I imported it to the UK last year) and it's gorgeous and practically plays itself. Even though I own a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Custom as well, the Burny is my go-to guitar... it's seriously that good!
I remember doing work experience in a guitar shop over 5 years ago that had loads of Burny guitars, but the entire time I thought they were called 'Bunny' guitars....I feel enlightened with this new found knowledge....
Navigator is a brand that makes high end copy guitars from the ESP guys. They say that they are better that the Gibson Custom shop and historic guitars and are built to perfection
I just picked up an '88 custom in black. I was considering options and this video helped me narrow-down my choices! Considering I paid about the same money for it that a new epiphone les paul costs, it is absolutely incredible!
I bought a guitar at a show labeled "Japanese Les Paul." Honestly I love it and it's my favorite guitar. Thinking about putting in some new pickups/fixing it up a bit. Still not really sure what it is but I love it.
my Burney is a RLC 55 its a planet burst finish tho, and there is not many of those. It's a beautiful guitar to look at and to play i'm really proud of it and yours sounds amazing too.
I too was lucky enough to find one of these "vintage" LP copies. For me it was a 1975 Kasuga LG770v that was about to be used as freaking firewood was rescued and brought back to life with quite a bit of spare pieces that me and a friend had lying around, just as you say those japanese copies can kick most Gibson's asses for a surprise for pretty cheap second hand prices, yours is in pristine condition while mine wasn't loved very much, quite a bit of relic and cigarette burns from 40-something years of heavy giging, yet somehow it's still solid as a rock and roadworthy. Anyways, congrats with such a great find and cheers from Mexico!
I absolutely love this channel, but I was definitely not expecting that "River of Deceit" intro. Thank you for that nice surprise, and keep up the good work!
I own a left-handed 2005 TOKAI '61 Reissue SG guitar Made In Japan. It is so well made and plays/sounds amazing. I played a used 2019 Gibson SG Standard recently at Guitar Center and it played and sounded amazing too! I bought the TOKAI used 7 years ago for $650. Guitar Center has that 2019 Gibson SG down to $899 which I would buy if I didn't already own the TOKAI.
I have been playing Burny/Greco/Fernandes/Tokai since the early 1980's and they are all wonderful guitars. I currently own a Greco 78' strat copy, a Tokai 72' re-issue Flying V, a Tokai 57' Korina Explorer prototype w/ split V headstock, a Robin (Tokai) 1982 super strat, and a Fernandes (1988) 56' strat re-issue... and they are all amazing sounding guitars. And since they are not collector items I can play the heck out of them.
Long time Fernandes, Burny fan. I had one very similar to yours. It was all mahogany. I ended up selling it to a friend who wouldn’t quit about wanting to buy it. I kept my black one..it is just a bit better.
Living in Japan rn and got one for around $400. It's a 1991 RLC-70 and although it's rough shape, the aged look gives it character and it still plays very well
then you know what Im talking about. A guitarist's deam and nightmare. Next time I go Im a bring 15 grand just for that purpose. I went in to one shop and they had Axe Fx II and Kemper set up side by side both ran through a Mesa 90/90. I already had the Axe Fx II XL+. After AB ing I purchased the Kemper and find myself using Axe Fx only for stomp boxs no modeling.
We went to visit our son in Okinawa last year and stopped off for a few days in Tokyo. Went downtown to the guitar players dream street! I picked up a sweet 2000 Gibson Les Paul standard honeyburst plus top for $1350. It is definitely a must do if you go to Tokyo.
I've heard of some really nice Korean made Les Paul style guitars from a company called Wolf. A store in LA sells them and they go for $430-500 depending upon the case you order with them (or lack thereof). I've been hearing people rave about them.
I have a 1980 Aria Pro II LS-600. Best Les Paul I have ever played. Construction on the guitar is solid. Better than any other Gibson I’ve ever played, including my own. I highly recommend MIJ clones.
I have the exact same one in black. So happy I bought a SG Standard in black too. Got both off eBay with free 2 or 3 day shipping. Both together came in for less than $1000. Just a couple of years ago. Better than any of my Gibsons.
I had a black one, same year as yours. It was good. But I found the Grecos to have a slightly higher quality to them. That being said. They’re both fantastic. My only gripe with the burnt was the dyed rosewood board. I had worn through the dye to the point where there where finger print marks all over the fretboard which was well, totally hideous. So I sold it off. I ended up with an 82 Gibson Les Paul custom. Which I’m very happy with. I found the burnys and grecos to fill the void until I could afford the real thing, but eventually they both left me wanting a bit more. They are an excellent guitar for the money. I’ve been hunting for the early 80s Rhoads model, since Burny actually went to Cali and inspected Randy’s actual les Paul for the specs.
I have an Ace Frehley Burny Les Paul - Same headstock as yours....No serial Number,have no idea where it was made, but it rocks Balls and I suppose that's all you need as a gigging guitar player..
I have a pair of Agile 3100 series LP's. Both are great build quality and sound great, both similarly spec'd to a custom. Love them, great value too. One is a cherry burst with humbuckers, the other a gold top with P90's.
LOVE my Agiel AL-3100MCC. It's a freaking awesome guitar! You just can't go wrong with Agile. It's astounding how much the guitar costs considering how awesome the quality is.
I just pulled the trigger on a Burny white flying V short scale bass from the same era for $430 at a pawn shop by my work. The last owner put on a new bridge and tuners and an active rotary distortion circuit in place of one of the volume pots.
The Burny Customs are all mahogany, which I prefer, they have a nice full neck shape and the stock pickups are very clear sounding. They are also nice because it is not too hard to pick the out “the good ones,” they have either a split diamond/Gibson inlay, or the modified one like in the video. I own one like fluffs and have played a handful from that era and they are remarkably consistent.
All the Burny Guitars I've ever had the occasion to play were EXTREMELY WELL BUILT. I have to say that I only ever played Japanese Burny guitars, I don't know anything about Burny guitars of another country.
God I love my 2 1990 Burnys. A black SG Standard and a black LPC. They have just tripled in price overnight. I tried to get my friends to get one but they didn't.
My first electric in 1992 was a silverburst Harmony les paul copy. I still have it and im never getting rid of it. Plays very well. I also picked up a Stellar black les paul custom copy for about 200 used. Ive liked both of those more than my old Epiphone les paul. That thing was junk. BTW, Mad season rocks. Great song choice.
Got a Burny LPB 80 on eBay for under three hundred and lm blown away. It’s like a time capsule and it’s so cool. It’s become my favorite out of 12 really nice basses.
Your "facts" are all over the place. They're still made (yes, in Japan too). The LPs weren't made in a ton of countries (most likely just Japan and China, POSSIBLY a short Korean build but more likely a different China/Taiwan factory) They didn't start "making the good ones" in '85, they made good stuff in the 70's as well and the Revival line started '81. The pickups are VH-3 and VH-1 depending on era, not VH-2. There are way more price levels than 60/65/70 (and 1990 was 65, by the way). At this point any MIJ 90's model would be classified as vintage, being 20+ years old. Nice to see you flying the flag, though... :D
Now we know everyone love their own brand of farts.. you cant deny that. This guy sounds like he knows a thing or 2 about Burny guitars and is just setting some facts straight. In fact it sounds like he know way too much, thats why I believe him. :D
I play a fernandes 1983 Jazz bass copy, which kicks soooo much ass. Compared it with an like early 2000s and late 90s jazz bass from fender, and it totally beat them. Very glad to own this kinda rare instrument. Fernandes/Burny made/makes (don't know there newer products) great instruments. If you see one, you should buy it.
Love it ! I was a huge Greco guitars fan a few years ago. Awesome guitars for the price, Japanese craftsmanship is amazing. Greco guitars were build in the Fujigen factory (where Fender Japan and the famous Squier "JV" were also build in the early 80's). Today Fujigen build Ibanez Prestige + all the amazing JCustom + their own line of "Fujigen" brand guitars. Now I'm curious : Did you had to pay any import/export tax as you left japan for this Burny ?
I had a 1990. Joe Perry model with VH-1 pickups (these were made by Gotoh btw), it was a great feeling and sounding guitar with a bit thinner body and a maple cap + flame veneer..VH-1 was a gibson t-top style pickup...Btw your's is a Randy Rhoads model and yeah it has a maple cap! I'm glad you decided to talk about Burny guitars, I find them the best brand if you want an LP..you get a great LP that is often better then the original for a great price..but they are not cheap in any way, unless you go in Japan and pick them up without paying shipping and taxes...
Man I picked up a Chinese Burny RLC75S recently as I wanted something with a sustainer in the neck and holy shit, it has become my main guitar. Even though it's Chinese it is an absolute beast of a work horse! I want another now! :D
Dude ! I was very happy when it announced to have bought this guitar, in the facebook video it was clear in his face the satisfaction in touching it in the store! Congratulations on the new G.A.S buddy!
I actually just bought a 1990 RLC 70 black custom before I found this video. I do love the Cream custom, almost snagged one. But the black/gold combo is just my favorite. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against my beloved Gibson Trad Pro ii w/ Floyd.
Damn! That's a tasty looking & sounding guitar. Been trying to lock down a Harley Benton SG triple humbucker, ivory or vintage yellow but they are always short supply. Not all of the mid range L.P's grab my attention. This one makes me forget that SG craze. The Burny is a choice option for vintage Gibson like customs.
Being primarily an Asian guitar guy (mostly Japanese) I can't honestly see why you WOULDN'T make a video on it. Georgous!! It's weird how well they make American copies. I have an 80s Fernandes tele that all the old tele country guys drool over.
I just found a daphne blue 89 Fernandes strat on the buy and sell pages a few weeks back for $200, it’s just as good as Murican stuff. I was blown away when I first played it, it’s one of my favourite guitars now. I’d love to find a similar deal on a Burny LP.
I own a Burny MG145-S Xjapan signature and have played quite a few over the years. They’re amazing. In fact i stopped buying guitars after i got a Birny and a Japanese telecatser
That is a beauty. I love the cream colour. I picked up a vintage Les Paul style guitar of the same era the other day. It's cream colour as well. Very similar to your Burny but not as nice yours. Awesome find!
Mad Season...very nice. Another good option is the very early Epiphones/ Late 80's to like 92. Though the headstock on the Burny is much better looking.
Last year I purchased a 1982 Burny Les Paul Standard copy, plain top in cherry burst, beat to shit for £550. It's honestly one of the greatest guitars I've ever played/owned. I took it into the studio earlier this year and our engineer didn't even know it wasn't a Gibson until I told him. Phenomenal guitars. I was actually toying with the idea of picking up a Burny/Greco/Orville LP custom as well, but now I've seen this video I'm dead set on picking one up.
The grey market in Japan is awesome! There are Manya guitars you can buy here and flip for a 25% in the states. In fact, that's how I got my first epiphone custom. I was about to buy a Greco for 200$ and then I saw this Chinese 2005 lp custom for 300$ the Greco was better made, but I never even played a les Paul. And I had a bunch of guitars and was only here for 3 months. I looked at the prices and said--this guitar retails used 350-400$ in the states. My goto lp is now a 10000¥ Tokai I bought for 40000¥ at a thrift store. It is one of the 80s versions when Gibson sued them. It was a gold-top but someone sanded down to the maple...gorgeous guitar. I am debating today to buy an aria pro. It is Korean and the frets on the neck are not too smooth. But it has Seymour Duncan pick-ups it is lighter than a current Epiphone LT and it looks a hell of a lot better too. I think it was sunburst! I know a guy who disassembles jaguars to sell in the U.K. Japanese guitars are hot! We got paisley telecasters and competition mustangs!
i own 2 gibsons both of which i love, but my buddy came across a black 91 burny custom and gave me a killer deal on it,& i have to say im not only impressed, i love it, its certainly on par with my gibbys, if not better. never see them, kind of wild lol
I'm using '80s or '90s Les Paul Custom Copy by Greco. That was about 30,000 yen. Because pickups were replaced to EMG81 and 85, and that had no original pickups and some original parts. But, that sound is very nice! That's the reason of I bought Greco. We call the guitar from the '70s to the '80s "Japan Vintage". "Japan vintage" is cheaper than Gibson and Fender of the same age, but these guitars and basses has good sounds. Your Burny is so good! :)
Thumbs up for River Of Deceit! That was unexpected!
Actually made me cry. I've been thinking about Layne a lot recently
For reals! Mad Season!
Mad Season!!!! Super band
That whole album is amazing. I still isten to it regularly.
So good. Also unexpected
I bought a cream Burny Les Paul Custom from my coworker and I've been playing it every day for like 4 hours during quarantine. I love it so much
->goes to Japan
->causes a burny guitars price hike
They've always been around the same. Orville by Gibson and old Tokai Reborn are the most expensive vintage ones there.
The secret is already out on them and some of the nicer ones are used mid grade Gibson money. The higher the number on the model name, (rlg-120 etc) the more yen in the thousands they costed new so people sell them by that
And if you're going to post a comment saying that it remained the same, then have you heard anout this concept called "a joke"?
Yeah, THANKS Fluff :-(
I gotta get to Tokyo now... I have a friend of mine that lives there...
I have a 1989 RLC-60 and it's an astonishing guitar. The original white finish has yellowed massively over in Japan (I imported it to the UK last year) and it's gorgeous and practically plays itself. Even though I own a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Custom as well, the Burny is my go-to guitar... it's seriously that good!
Burny Tokai Fernandes Edwards Greco are all ❤❤❤
Francisco Iñigo Garde Navigator as well, they’re just nicer Edwards after all
My favourite guitar is my Tokai Telecaster. Easily the best guitar I've had in terms of feel.
You should add FGN to that list.
don't forget the Orville's
also the maya, I have a strat maya and the quality of the wood is incredible. the body is of an alder piece.
Tokyo seems like a gold mine for cool guitars. I wanna go.
I remember doing work experience in a guitar shop over 5 years ago that had loads of Burny guitars, but the entire time I thought they were called 'Bunny' guitars....I feel enlightened with this new found knowledge....
new shit has come to light
I've own a Greco Les Paul 1960 style. Amazing guitar with beautiful tone.
Navigator is a brand that makes high end copy guitars from the ESP guys. They say that they are better that the Gibson Custom shop and historic guitars and are built to perfection
I was lucky enough to play a Burny about 9 years ago and it’s still stuck with me because of how bloody good it was
I just picked up an '88 custom in black. I was considering options and this video helped me narrow-down my choices!
Considering I paid about the same money for it that a new epiphone les paul costs, it is absolutely incredible!
I bought a guitar at a show labeled "Japanese Les Paul."

I too was lucky enough to find one of these "vintage" LP copies. For me it was a 1975 Kasuga LG770v that was about to be used as freaking firewood was rescued and brought back to life with quite a bit of spare pieces that me and a friend had lying around, just as you say those japanese copies can kick most Gibson's asses for a surprise for pretty cheap second hand prices, yours is in pristine condition while mine wasn't loved very much, quite a bit of relic and cigarette burns from 40-something years of heavy giging, yet somehow it's still solid as a rock and roadworthy. Anyways, congrats with such a great find and cheers from Mexico!
Like the failure poster in the background. Such a great and underrated band
I have a White 1989 Orville by Gibson LP Custom it doesn't suck. It has now turned a buttercream color as it has aged. Looks alot like that Burny.
I absolutely love this channel, but I was definitely not expecting that "River of Deceit" intro. Thank you for that nice surprise, and keep up the good work!
I own a left-handed 2005 TOKAI '61 Reissue SG guitar Made In Japan. It is so well made and plays/sounds amazing.

This looks and sounds sexy AF!!!!
I never heard a collector said a bad thing about Burny.
I have a 83 RR's Burny and it's a solid Guitar. Heavy as shit!
I just bought a Burny on Reverb, excited to feel and play it!!!
I have been playing Burny/Greco/Fernandes/Tokai since the early 1980's and they are all wonderful guitars. I currently own a Greco 78' strat copy, a Tokai 72' re-issue Flying V, a Tokai 57' Korina Explorer prototype w/ split V headstock, a Robin (Tokai) 1982 super strat, and a Fernandes (1988) 56' strat re-issue... and they are all amazing sounding guitars. And since they are not collector items I can play the heck out of them.
Long time Fernandes, Burny fan.
I had one very similar to yours. It was all mahogany. I ended up selling it to a friend who wouldn’t quit about wanting to buy it.
I kept my black one..it is just a bit better.
Did Fluff just make a Dad joke? “They are slightly left of center.” 🤣
I've had many of these and they're great. The most diserables are the one's with diamond headstock logo.
If you like the Burny you definitely need to check out FGN. I've got 2 of them, a gold top and a black custom. Exceptional Les Paul style guitars.
Living in Japan rn and got one for around $400. It's a 1991 RLC-70 and although it's rough shape, the aged look gives it character and it still plays very well
and in Tokyo..... There is a street with like 3 city blocks of just guitar shops. What are you talking about
ty berard are you referring to Ochanomizu Street? I bought my Edwards Les Paul there last year. Such a sweet and bad ass guitar..!!
then you know what Im talking about. A guitarist's deam and nightmare. Next time I go Im a bring 15 grand just for that purpose. I went in to one shop and they had Axe Fx II and Kemper set up side by side both ran through a Mesa 90/90. I already had the Axe Fx II XL+. After AB ing I purchased the Kemper and find myself using Axe Fx only for stomp boxs no modeling.
We went to visit our son in Okinawa last year and stopped off for a few days in Tokyo. Went downtown to the guitar players dream street! I picked up a sweet 2000 Gibson Les Paul standard honeyburst plus top for $1350. It is definitely a must do if you go to Tokyo.

Cudos to the Mad Season. Nice guitar too.
Got a 1986 Burny Les Paul, brand new, beautiful cherry burst. That thing rips!!!
I have a burny lc70rr from 1985 perfect guitar. Perfect copy.
I have two Burny Les Paul, the black beauty and the cream Les Paul, both amazing guitars.
I have a 1980 Aria Pro II LS-600. Best Les Paul I have ever played. Construction on the guitar is solid. Better than any other Gibson I’ve ever played, including my own. I highly recommend MIJ clones.
I have the exact same one in black. So happy I bought a SG Standard in black too. Got both off eBay with free 2 or 3 day shipping. Both together came in for less than $1000. Just a couple of years ago. Better than any of my Gibsons.
The early 90's are the deal. The 80s ones are more expensive. Plus I love calling them my Bunnys
Be forewarned, the Customs come with rosewood not ebony. True across my 3 MIJ Gibson copies.
I had a black one, same year as yours. It was good. But I found the Grecos to have a slightly higher quality to them. That being said. They’re both fantastic. My only gripe with the burnt was the dyed rosewood board. I had worn through the dye to the point where there where finger print marks all over the fretboard which was well, totally hideous.

I have an Ace Frehley Burny Les Paul - Same headstock as yours....No serial Number,have no idea where it was made, but it rocks Balls and I suppose that's all you need as a gigging guitar player..
I have a newer (Chinese) Burny and it's great... I know the Japanese are best but some of the others are pretty good as well
I have a pair of Agile 3100 series LP's. Both are great build quality and sound great, both similarly spec'd to a custom. Love them, great value too. One is a cherry burst with humbuckers, the other a gold top with P90's.
LOVE my Agiel AL-3100MCC. It's a freaking awesome guitar! You just can't go wrong with Agile. It's astounding how much the guitar costs considering how awesome the quality is.
Ordered my John Sykes Burny Les Paul Custom today!!
Lots of people think the burny its better than the original, also if my luthier says it is because its true
I just pulled the trigger on a Burny white flying V short scale bass from the same era for $430 at a pawn shop by my work. The last owner put on a new bridge and tuners and an active rotary distortion circuit in place of one of the volume pots.
The Burny Customs are all mahogany, which I prefer, they have a nice full neck shape and the stock pickups are very clear sounding.
They are also nice because it is not too hard to pick the out “the good ones,” they have either a split diamond/Gibson inlay, or the modified one like in the video. I own one like fluffs and have played a handful from that era and they are remarkably consistent.
Not all Burny Customs are all mahogany, post-87 ("lighting bolt") customs made by Dyna usually have maple caps.
All the Burny Guitars I've ever had the occasion to play were EXTREMELY WELL BUILT. I have to say that I only ever played Japanese Burny guitars, I don't know anything about Burny guitars of another country.
Im had one! lovely lovely! now I have a '94 Orville LP standard... honestly even better!
Cream coloured les Paul’s are gorgeous
God I love my 2 1990 Burnys. A black SG Standard and a black LPC. They have just tripled in price overnight. I tried to get my friends to get one but they didn't.
Sick guitar
My first electric in 1992 was a silverburst Harmony les paul copy. I still have it and im never getting rid of it. Plays very well. I also picked up a Stellar black les paul custom copy for about 200 used. Ive liked both of those more than my old Epiphone les paul. That thing was junk. BTW, Mad season rocks. Great song choice.
Got a Burny LPB 80 on eBay for under three hundred and lm blown away. It’s like a time capsule and it’s so cool. It’s become my favorite out of 12 really nice basses.
You are definitely a child of the 90's. I miss layne and mad season.
Fluff: complains guitarists are too conservative
also Fluff: reviews les paul guitar
Your "facts" are all over the place. They're still made (yes, in Japan too). The LPs weren't made in a ton of countries (most likely just Japan and China, POSSIBLY a short Korean build but more likely a different China/Taiwan factory) They didn't start "making the good ones" in '85, they made good stuff in the 70's as well and the Revival line started '81. The pickups are VH-3 and VH-1 depending on era, not VH-2. There are way more price levels than 60/65/70 (and 1990 was 65, by the way). At this point any MIJ 90's model would be classified as vintage, being 20+ years old. Nice to see you flying the flag, though... :D
Ooh get her ;)
Nice of you to take a break from sniffing your own farts to let everybody know why youre single.
Now we know everyone love their own brand of farts.. you cant deny that. This guy sounds like he knows a thing or 2 about Burny guitars and is just setting some facts straight. In fact it sounds like he know way too much, thats why I believe him. :D
VH-1 Stickers on the pickup frames ...
If I'd known one more fact the Yakuza would kill me. I swear.
I play a fernandes 1983 Jazz bass copy, which kicks soooo much ass. Compared it with an like early 2000s and late 90s jazz bass from fender, and it totally beat them. Very glad to own this kinda rare instrument. Fernandes/Burny made/makes (don't know there newer products) great instruments. If you see one, you should buy it.
Perfect for post rock and alternative music. Don't really know what to say about the overdrive, but that thing sounds sweet!
Actually before 1985. I have a MIJ Burny Randy Rhoads model LP Custom made in 1983. Good playing guitar.
Got myself a 1979 Greco Les Paul Custom. It is all gold hardware like yours but its a burst instead of plain white! Love these guitars!
I have a late 80s / Early 90s Burny and it’s nicer than some Gibson’s that I’ve owned.
Love it ! I was a huge Greco guitars fan a few years ago. Awesome guitars for the price, Japanese craftsmanship is amazing. Greco guitars were build in the Fujigen factory (where Fender Japan and the famous Squier "JV" were also build in the early 80's).
Today Fujigen build Ibanez Prestige + all the amazing JCustom + their own line of "Fujigen" brand guitars.
Now I'm curious : Did you had to pay any import/export tax as you left japan for this Burny ?
He's gonna answer any moment now lol
I met you at the Tokyo Music Fair, I’m the guy from ZenZero. It was nice meeting you and chit-chat a bit. Great guitar you got there man, congrats! 🤘
Love the Mad Season cover and Failure poster on the wall. We should be friends.
After searching for many, many years!! Took me about 10 minutes on the internet!
I have a Japanese Burny black beauty from 1986 with a pair of dirty fingers from the 80s, definitely better than most of the Gibsons I owned.
Love my 1977 Aria Pro Les Paul custom in tobacco burst.
I had a 1990. Joe Perry model with VH-1 pickups (these were made by Gotoh btw), it was a great feeling and sounding guitar with a bit thinner body and a maple cap + flame veneer..VH-1 was a gibson t-top style pickup...Btw your's is a Randy Rhoads model and yeah it has a maple cap! I'm glad you decided to talk about Burny guitars, I find them the best brand if you want an LP..you get a great LP that is often better then the original for a great price..but they are not cheap in any way, unless you go in Japan and pick them up without paying shipping and taxes...
Man I picked up a Chinese Burny RLC75S recently as I wanted something with a sustainer in the neck and holy shit, it has become my main guitar. Even though it's Chinese it is an absolute beast of a work horse! I want another now! :D
I’ve been trying to find one in good shape for the last 3 or 4 years. That one looks awesome!
I got one used Burny Les paul in Japan 21,000 Yen, i could say the sound is fantastic
My pain is self chosen, MAD SEASON!!!!
Props for Mad Season! That is one of my all time favorite albums.
My best LP is my 1981 Ibanez AR50. Love it to bits.
I just bought me a Burny Triple Pickup SG and it sounds better than any Gibson I’ve picked up.
I always thought Randy Rhoads played one of these when i was a kid. How wrong was I? lol.
What IS a Lezz paul?
I grabbed one of these MIJ ones in black for $250 a couple years back. It's an amazing guitar and won't be going anywhere.
Dude !
I was very happy when it announced to have bought this guitar, in the facebook video it was clear in his face the satisfaction in touching it in the store!
Congratulations on the new G.A.S buddy!
I got a 2010 Agile AL-3000 with a hardcase for $200 Canadian and it plays like a dream, so if you can find one I’d highly recommend trying one out
I actually just bought a 1990 RLC 70 black custom before I found this video. I do love the Cream custom, almost snagged one. But the black/gold combo is just my favorite. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against my beloved Gibson Trad Pro ii w/ Floyd.
0:36 omg a good clean sound on riffs beards and gear!
Fernandes guitars are my favorite guitars. I play 95 vertigo absolute beast of a guitar. Wish they never closed the USA shop.
Damn! That's a tasty looking & sounding guitar. Been trying to lock down a Harley Benton SG triple humbucker, ivory or vintage yellow but they are always short supply. Not all of the mid range L.P's grab my attention. This one makes me forget that SG craze. The Burny is a choice option for vintage Gibson like customs.
Congrats on the guitar. Its exciting buying something you've been looking for, for a long time. I bet you're playing it all the time.
I’ve wanted to get one of the Burny Les Paul customs for years, they do one with a Floyd and Sustainer that I seriously love
Being primarily an Asian guitar guy (mostly Japanese) I can't honestly see why you WOULDN'T make a video on it. Georgous!! It's weird how well they make American copies. I have an 80s Fernandes tele that all the old tele country guys drool over.
I just found a daphne blue 89 Fernandes strat on the buy and sell pages a few weeks back for $200, it’s just as good as Murican stuff. I was blown away when I first played it, it’s one of my favourite guitars now. I’d love to find a similar deal on a Burny LP.
Great find! Makes you think that another manufacturer can make something most likely better and cheaper, too!
I own a Burny MG145-S Xjapan signature and have played quite a few over the years. They’re amazing. In fact i stopped buying guitars after i got a Birny and a Japanese telecatser
Josepth Tholl from Enforcer and Black Trip/ VOJD plays this one and it sounds amazing
I have an exact same one. 1987 burny lp custom. Best les Paul I’ve ever played. 11 lbs
That is a beauty. I love the cream colour. I picked up a vintage Les Paul style guitar of the same era the other day. It's cream colour as well. Very similar to your Burny but not as nice yours. Awesome find!
Hey, thanks for playing River of Deceit! Been trying to learn that one.
Mad Season...very nice. Another good option is the very early Epiphones/ Late 80's to like 92. Though the headstock on the Burny is much better looking.
Last year I purchased a 1982 Burny Les Paul Standard copy, plain top in cherry burst, beat to shit for £550. It's honestly one of the greatest guitars I've ever played/owned. I took it into the studio earlier this year and our engineer didn't even know it wasn't a Gibson until I told him. Phenomenal guitars. I was actually toying with the idea of picking up a Burny/Greco/Orville LP custom as well, but now I've seen this video I'm dead set on picking one up.
The grey market in Japan is awesome! There are Manya guitars you can buy here and flip for a 25% in the states. In fact, that's how I got my first epiphone custom. I was about to buy a Greco for 200$ and then I saw this Chinese 2005 lp custom for 300$ the Greco was better made, but I never even played a les Paul. And I had a bunch of guitars and was only here for 3 months. I looked at the prices and said--this guitar retails used 350-400$ in the states. My goto lp is now a 10000¥ Tokai I bought for 40000¥ at a thrift store. It is one of the 80s versions when Gibson sued them. It was a gold-top but someone sanded down to the maple...gorgeous guitar. I am debating today to buy an aria pro. It is Korean and the frets on the neck are not too smooth. But it has Seymour Duncan pick-ups it is lighter than a current Epiphone LT and it looks a hell of a lot better too. I think it was sunburst! I know a guy who disassembles jaguars to sell in the U.K. Japanese guitars are hot! We got paisley telecasters and competition mustangs!
i own 2 gibsons both of which i love, but my buddy came across a black 91 burny custom and gave me a killer deal on it,& i have to say im not only impressed, i love it, its certainly on par with my gibbys, if not better. never see them, kind of wild lol
I'm looking seriously at the Edwards E-LP-130CD seems like one of the best Japanese custom copies.
Edwards Les Pauls are the "Shit your pants" kind of guitars. Brilliant LPs.
Bacchus and Navigator would like to have a word with you.
Navigator is a nice dream... a dream way out of my budget... but if i had the chance i would take it over any Gibson hahahaha.
Go for it! Edwards are by far the best LPC copies produced in series right now and with a QC Gibson should have a look at.
Edwards and Navigator and Killer and ESP Brands guys ;)
Nice guitar .... I have a 2009 Agile 2000 ,,, and because I am not a lead player it is just fine for me ... $300 with HSC delivered ...
I'm using '80s or '90s Les Paul Custom Copy by Greco.
That was about 30,000 yen. Because pickups were replaced to EMG81 and 85,
and that had no original pickups and some original parts.
But, that sound is very nice! That's the reason of I bought Greco.
We call the guitar from the '70s to the '80s "Japan Vintage".
"Japan vintage" is cheaper than Gibson and Fender of the same age,
but these guitars and basses has good sounds.
Your Burny is so good! :)
its nice to hear a description without a British accent LOL Great info Thanks
just picked up a black Burny custom the other day off craigslist for $350!
Mad Season, this guy knows his stuff!
