1978 Burny FLG-60 (Tokai LS-60) Solid top

Production of Burny's Les Paul type began in 1976, but in 1978 Tokai began manufacturing the Les Paul type, and only the lower model FLG-60 was manufactured by Tokai. (More than 70 seems to be Terada Musical Instruments)

Therefore, although the head logo is Burny, the guitar itself is the same as the 1978 Tokai LS-60, including the PU etc.

Compared to the 1979 LS-60 that is also on display, there are slight differences in the body angle and body shape, but this is the difference between TOKAI's 1978 and 1979 LS-60.

The top material is a plain top, but it is a solid center 2P top with a slight bird's eye pattern, and the back material may have a seam, but to the untrained eye it looks like a 1P top. (Please check the pictures carefully as we cannot guarantee it) You can see the remnants of the days when materials were luxurious.

The above FLG has the Burny brand marquee and that's it

250K pots too; instead of the typical 500K .......

The MIJs are always a hoot 🤪

I checked the 1978 Fernandes catalog and the FLG-60 is pictured with the below type head stock face logo
