Selling the cherry red Burny ES-335 (model RSA-100) I recently bought. This is a beautiful guitar in excellent, original condition. The binding has yellowed just a bit with age, making it look vintage. Well -- I guess it is -- more than 20 years old now. I'm selling because the neck carve is a Gibson '60s style -- thin -- which I'm not a fan of. I prefer the fat '50s necks.
In case you're not familiar with Burny, it's one of the many high-quality lawsuit-era guitar brands that emerged in Japan in the '70s, copying and actually doing a better job of building Gibson, Fender, and Martin guitars, including Ibanez, Greco, Tokai, Fernandes, Takamine, Guyatone, and others.
All the stuff you'd expect in a similar Gibson ES-335 guitar, with the added bonus of made in Japan when they were building them better than the guys at Gibson. Dual humbuckers, Kluson-style tulip tuners, rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, semi-hollow body with a three-ply maple-mahogany-maple top and back, tune-o-matic bridge, long guard, stop tail, etc. Even the fabled, Japan-only Gibson open-book headstock. Includes a really nice Noah's Ark heavy duty gig bag. "Thin film finish" in great shape with just a few minor dings/scratches.
This model was originally priced at 100,000 yen reflecting its high-quality build.
