Burny ES-335 Cherry Japan 2004 -- not Gibson - $1,475 (La Jolla)
QR Code Link to This Post
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. As the label inside the guitar shows, this Burny was built by Fernandes.
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.
