Burny SG custom RSG-70.
Since my teenage years in the 1990's I have always wanted (read as fantasied!) about owning a white 3 pickup SG custom since seeing pictures of Jimi Hendrix play one on stage in Stockholm and on the Dick Cavett show.
Fast forward to 2016, and to one of my latest acquisitions - behold this proud beauty a Burny SG , which now resides with me in the the Republic of Ireland. Its correct model designation is the RSG-70, and I originally bought it under the impression that its was a 1987 model. However, after some researching of the catalogs ( http://www.fernandes.co.jp/catalog/ ) and some input from knowledgeable friends, I can confirm that these Burny SG did not appear in the Fernandes (Fernandes / Burny are the same company) until 1989 and was only produced for between 3-4 years, making them relatively rare compared to some of their Stablemates.
As it appears in the Burny / Fernandes guitar catalog.
The head-stock features a bolt inlay as opposed to the split diamond type which was present on earlier offerings. The split diamond is present in the catalogs up until circa. 1988.
Typical SG tone and volume controls featuring nice pointers.
I will post a video review demonstrating the tones which this bad boy delivers, but for now here is a link to my channel showcasing some more pictures. This channel is set for a revamp in the very near future; featuring everything Japanese guitar, including lots of Greco guitars, Tokai, Orville and of course more Burny / Fernandes offerings!
