- Description
- Guitarchives
Burny RSA-60 335-style, made in Taiwan 2006, tobacco sunburst. Burny is a division of Fernandes guitars, mostly doing Gibson style stuff sold domestically within Japan. This is a mid-00s example, when they had moved production offshore, but as is often the case with Japan-based brands, the execution is still very good indeed. The neck is straight and stable and carved to a 1960-style moderately chunky rounded profile, which feels awesome. The previous owner does a lot of electrical repairs for our store, so he did a once-over on all the pots, switch, jack and wires, so it's got crispy clean new guts to bring out the best in teh pickups. The neck pickup is clear and glassy with a solid and percussive low-end, while the bridge pickup is creamy and honky and loves a dose of gain. This is a really convincing, lively feeling 335-style... there's a lot to enjoy.
