Hey Guys... I'm the new one
I've got an offer for a great looking Burny LP Custom but I'm a little bit confused about the specs and can't tell the model or year it was made.
It is a pretty light LP (weights only about 3.5 kilos - would be about 7.6 lbs) and its a bit thinner than usual.
It has the Diamond-shaped Burny-Inlay on the headstock and a two-screws trussrod-cover with wings (from the pictures I can't tell if there are more screw-holes under the trussrod-cover).
The Pickups are VH-1's with grey wire.
The seller says, its a MIJ from the early 90s.
So everything points out, that the guitar is a late 80s - early 90s model. But as far as I know Burny started to add serials again in 1990. And here is my problem:
In the Bridge-Cavity-Hole is a serial-nr. and as far as I can decipher it on the picture it starts with 825.. - can't see the last digits.
I thought, the first cipher indicates the year the guitar was made ... then that would be 1998. But in 96 the last original Burnys were made (with two-screw trussrods and diamond-inlay).
Could you help me identify that guitar?
Thanks and greetings from germany,
joe
