The difference was also not conscious to me. It was noticeable to me only, when I measured the '54 Gibson Goldtop. I do not have an official reference. The realizations and also the picture are based on own experiences. I do not lay a claim on completeness and correctness.

The No. 1 has golden Grovers, which are already strongly worn out. That did not please me however. As template I used this photo: Here has the No. 1 a black pickup at the bridge. Pleases me also better. In addition it should not become a 100% replica, but my own interpretation of the No. 1...

Some pictures of the shaping of the Burny top.

That is not simple to explain. There are many small differences with the top shaping. For example here's the range between the pick-ups: The shaping form of the '54 is generally rounder and softer and does not appear therefore not so strongly outlined. A '54 Les Paul Goldtop I could measured...

WOW! I think I have the twin sister :D

Madness, how exactly the pictures are regarded! Correctly, with this photo series the bridge pickup was diagonally installed around 0.5 mm. I disassemled and again assembled the Greco several times. For these photographs I had surveyed it simple. This fault is however for a long time repaired...

I found this number in the neck cavity of my Burny RLC. Is it possible that the Burny is year of construction 1982? In addition it has a full mahogany body without a maple cap. Thanks! Regards Ed

My RLC-60 has a three piece Body.
