The Burny "Super Grade" guitars from the 1980s, produced by Fernandes in Japan, are esteemed replicas of Gibson Les Paul models, celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Key specifications include:
Body: Constructed with a mahogany back and a solid maple top, often featuring a flame maple veneer for aesthetic appeal.
Neck: Crafted from mahogany with a set-neck construction, providing sustain and stability. The neck profile is typically a medium 'C' shape, offering comfortable playability.
Fingerboard: Rosewood fingerboard with a 24.75-inch scale length and 22 frets, adorned with trapezoid inlays, mirroring traditional Les Paul designs.
Pickups: Equipped with Burny's VH-1 humbucking pickups, designed to emulate the vintage PAF (Patent Applied For) tone, delivering warm and articulate sound.
Hardware: Features a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, along with vintage-style tuners, all typically finished in chrome or nickel.
These instruments are highly regarded for their faithful adherence to classic Les Paul aesthetics and performance, offering a vintage experience at a more accessible price point compared to their American counterparts.
