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...

Sorry Mojo, but it is a '54 shaped top! :wink:

Makeover of a broken Burny FLG-70 to a "Jimmy Page No. 1" Style Les Paul. Original condition: After the makeover:

That was I. However the salesman still states, it is a 1979er, which was converted ??? Also the word choice was quite crude in its emails.

I possessed also a Tokai LS-50 year of construction 1990 in original state. Attention to the TRC and the serial number!

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.

Hi Does someone have an idea, which year of construction and model it concerns with these Burny? It possesses neither a serial number still another model designation. Which pickups are that? VH-1? There is no sticker on the pickup mounting ring. Thanks! Regards Big Ed

The frets of old Tokais or Grecos have a width of 2.8 mm. The frets of the Fresher 2.58 mm. Already when working on it noticed to me that they are somewhat thinner than with the guitars specified before. Gibson frets have normally a width of 2.54 mm. The pictures are deceptive due to the dark...

Sorry John! Unfortunately I do not see a possibility. You must be content with the pictures. Except, you bring me the Burny GoldTop personally to me :wink:
