Burny FLG? on Rinkya

[bart]

I have owned several RLG Super Grade Models from early/mid 1980s examples to late 1980s examples

weights have ranged from 8 lb. 0 oz. to 10 lb. 8 oz.

the 8 lb. 0 oz. one had a 1 pc. body & was the deadest of them all :lol:

best sounding ones usually run in the 8 lb. 10 oz. to 8 lb. 15 oz. range ............

You are aware that the world outside the US converted to the metric system ages ago :wink: ???

Can't we agree that everyone on the forum uses the metric system

You're fogetting the UK, who 'officially' adopted the metric system in 1970 and have largely ignored it ever since Cultural differences should be encouraged, it makes the world a more interesting place :wink:

Yes we should all use the metric system and also drive on the right side of the road

hi
i think it is like 4 kg ,,,,,

I have almost the identical 81' FLG90 as Otto has, similar weight aswell. or 8.8lbs for Americans. I noticed the neck on mine feels slimmer at the 12th fret than the 1st though. Very resonant and lively aswell!

I used a google translator...... touchdown....... so ..... The world is different... we all have to adapt.... just like this forum !!!.........Aloha from Maui...

This one has atleast 2 pieces in the body.
two pieces is visible just from the picture.

But if suckers wanna pay top dollars for it....Their wallet

It is REALLY tough to say that is a 2 piece body Koub. Judging from the grain, I would say it is quite possible it is a 1 piece. Also the large photos of the sides and edges of the guitar are the tell tale places you will see piece seams and from the large pics he posted, I do not see any. Besides, it is fairly well known that the 90, 150, and 240's all had 1 piece bodies from this time period.

 

[Koubayashi]

Ofcourse it is hard to say from pics.
But there is a straight line that really looks like the seam.

I would never buy this as a one piece without inspecting it IRL.

That one would have been approx 1700 EURO to my door. A bit steep if you find out you do not like it and want to sell it.

otto, I remember now when he was selling those because he had gotten some high end navigators, and he described the necks as slim not fat. To bad for me becasue I like the bigger necks better

More or less impossible to sell them att that price over here.

And yeah, my experience of older Burnys is that they have rather slim necks.
But I like to have a couple fatties and a couple of slims

 

[muccax]

if you want big necks .... go for the 82 greco egc ...... i got 4 from 81-82 and the have huge neck ,,,,,, i mean big huge necks ,,,,,, when you get a guitar with a slim 60 neck you think it is a toy

Yeah, Those early 82' Mint Collections seam to have fat necks. I have a 82' eg59-70 with a fat neck.
