Early 80's. Mahogahy body/ neck, 2 P-90s, vintage style tuners, stopbar tailpiece, black. Feature about everything you'd want from a guitar like this.

Fits Stones/ Faces style music great. The P-90s sound as good as any out there. Very vintage in tone like early 60's SGs. Not really bright, but very full body.
Action, Fit, & Finish

It needed a little set-up, but with only a stopbar to adjust it only took about 2 minutes. I will be replacing the original bar with a Wilkinson with adjustable G & B. Has a great 50's style, chunky neck... Not really for very small hands. Finish is very much like vintage Gibson that I've played. All the fret ends were neatly finished. Plays great!

I think this guitar will hold up, but I've only had it for a couple of days. I'm just blown away at how nice this guitar is for less than $500.

I wanted to get a 50's reissue, custom shop special without spending $2500. I've spent that much on guitars and have never been completely happy. I got a custom shop quality guitar, maybe better, and didn't have the guilt of having spent so much money. I have real Gibsons that won't see the use that this Burny will. It's just a great rocknroll guitar!
