Hi dear Tokai Forum Members,
I come from The Netherlands and I'm new on this great forum side.
I collect and sell vintage MIJ Guitars especially Burnys.
This year I'm the new owner of this Burny RLG.
It's a nice and good sounding guitar!
This guitar comes from a well know Japanese Guitars dealer here in Europe and it's sold as a '81/'82 RLG-150 with 1 Piece Mahogany Back and a nitro finish.
But ? think it's not a RLG-150!
This week I discovered that the body is not 1 Piece but 2 Pieces and also the finish is not nitro!
You can't see it on the backside but if you look good on the bottom of the backside you see left of the strap nut a thin borderline of the two Mahogany pieces. I marked the line with the black dot.
Here some details of the Burny;
- 2 piece Back
- Solid Birdseye Top
- Poly finish?
- L8001 or VH-4 PU's?
Neck 8.13 K and Bridge 7.95 K
- Weight 3.8 kg
- Potcode 16 (June '81)
Maybe a custom made RLG from Kasuga?
Here a link to more detail pictures of my Mystery Burny; http://s103.photobucket.com/user/erwin6706/library/Burny%20RLG
I think member Udonitron has (or had) the same Burny like me!

So can you help me to identify this rare Burny?
Thanks anyway!
Jacco, are you there? :wink:
