I have a few burnys les paul 2 lightning bolts 92 and 96. And a 2006 chineese burny all LPC models the burnys have their own charm and the VH1 pickups are great. The chineese 2006 model has 2 stock made in japan pickups even though it was made in china. The older chineese are are amazing. Better then epiphone. The lightning bolt models are comparable to gibson besides poly laquer. China- 50s narrow neck. Japanese 50s wide neck.
Well didn’t have to do fretwork on my Burny. So in that it is better than my Gibson. I don’t really see the point of comparing. Both are different guitars. Feels a bit people need to defend themselves buying a certain guitar that’s not of the classic two brands. I have a Squier affinity tele I like. No need to compare it to a Fender.
Its a Chinese not Japanese version of the LP Custom. The Japanese versions have 2 screw truss rod covers like the Gibson the Chinese versions have 3 screw covers. The Japanese versions also have Ebony boards the guitar you feature has a Rosewood board. The Japanese versions have made in Japan printed on the back of the headstock and impressed serial numbers the Chinese only have printed serial numbers on the headstock.
Absolutely not! I had a 90’s Burny custom, the “”ones you want” supposedly. Hated it. Absolutely horrible. Worse than an epiphone. Was nothing like a LP custom or even a standard. The one I had was twisted and couldn’t be fixed; cheaper wood.
90s japanese what? Gibson, epiphone? Burny? I want a les paul shape eventually but im a strat guy thru and thru. Just wondering what i should get if i want a les paul. 1500 max? Maybe 22 if its custom built or something
@@LiteralApe I think he's talking just about any 90s Japanese Les Paul. It was a golden period for Les Paul-type guitars in Japan. Several manufacturers were putting out some good stuff in that period-- early Edwards (ESP) Les Pauls are pretty highly regarded, as they were made from old ESP Les Paul kit guitars from when ESP was a parts company, plus Tokai and FujiGen were making excellent Les Pauls, either for themselves or other brands such as Greco and Burny. Gibson had contracted both FujiGen and Terada to make their Orville brand guitars for the Japanese Domestic Market. Plus you can get a 90s Japanese Les Paul for far less than a current-year Japanese Les Paul, especially if you look online at some Japanese vendors like Ishibashi or Ikebe. I wouldn't necessarily call them "Gibson Killers," but a mid-range Japanese Les Paul is about on-par with something like a Current Year Les Paul Classic for about a third of the price. If you want a "Gibson Killer," you're looking at either the highest-end Tokai or Navigator (ESP) models, but you're going to be paying Gibson prices unless you go used. Also: rule of thumb is that Japanese Burnys have a 2-screw truss rod cover, while Korean and Chinese Burnys have a 3-screw like the one in the video. They're saying that some newer Japanese Burnys are being made with 3-screw TRCs, but then again, the only way to tell for sure is to look at the model number and see if it's got 3 digits or so. Finally-- the serial number. If it starts with FG, it's Chinese. FG isn't an abbreviation for "FujiGen," but "Fernandes Guitars." Some sellers have tried passing off MIC Fernandes or Burny guitars as MIJ, so look for the "FG' to make sure.
Sir: you’re entitled to your opinion but I cannot share your opinion. I own a Burny RLC 105S, a Gibson Les Paul Studio, and a 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom. The Gibson guitars BLOW IT AWAY
I have a Gibson 93 Studio and a Burny RLC55 Randy Rhoads and after a few simple upgrades the Burny is the superior guitar by far...There's a reason guys like Robert Fripp& Steve Hackett play them...

This Burny is Chinese. If you want the real deal Gibson killer the 90’s
Japanese is the way to go. 👌
