Seller's description:

Burny RLG '59MODEL les paul Lemon Drop exhibition.

This machine, which seems to have been manufactured in the 1980s, is a popular model that faithfully reproduces the 1959 Les Paul.

The pickup is equipped with two "VH-1", which is still popular today. A clear and responsive sound that faithfully reproduces the sound of an old PAF from the late 50's.

In terms of the shape truss rod cover with wings , there seems to be a model called "RLG-70" in the catalog at that time , but " RLG-70" has a flame maple top specification, but this individual is flame maple. It is a machined top specification of solid wood (pure wood) of wood (tiger heather maple).

In addition, the back material is made of two pieces of high-quality straight-grained mahogany that looks like a single piece of mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of jet-black high-quality rosewood, and the inlays look like real shell inlays. Specifications, fret binding is also applied. It is a specification that is particular about the material.

The neck is a one-piece mahogany neck set with a deep joint.
The book-matched two-piece maple top houses the Fernandes original VH-1 humbucker that faithfully reproduces the old PAF sound of the late 50's.

Nickel-plated hardware enhances the vintage taste.

The thick and chewy sound is just like a Les Paul, and you can feel the goodness of the construction that is unique to domestic production.

It is also a beautiful individual that can represent a jumper vintage with its excellent specifications and construction.
If you are interested, please consider it.
